Dave’s programs

Dave facilitates multiple programs in most schools, ensuring that each experience is fresh while maintaining a purposeful journey.

Years 7 & 8

This program offers your students a transformative journey of self-discovery. Through engaging activities, they'll explore their values, beliefs, and identity, gaining a clearer understanding of who they are and how to live life to the fullest.

In a safe, supportive environment, students will have opportunities for self-reflection, personal growth, and meaningful connections, equipping them with the tools and confidence to navigate adolescence and embrace the boundless opportunities ahead.

John 10:10

Years 9, 10 & 11

Most of us, especially students, naturally focus on the negatives in ourselves and others. Therefore, it is important to counteract this by intentionally looking for and celebrating the positives.

As a Yr 9 student said, “This day helped us open our eyes to the positive qualities in each other and brought us closer together as a group”.

Your students will have an opportunity to celebrate the sacredness within each other.

Matthew 5:14-16.

Years 11 & 12

Overnight Retreats are a special opportunity and invitation for your students to explore, discover and deepen their relationships with themselves, others and God.

Your students will experience an intentional journey, including discovering shared humanness, renewing relationships through affirmation and healing, spiritual exploration and expression, and plenty of fun and singing.

This program can support your school’s or year level’s themes.

Years 11 & 12, plus Student Leaders

Servant leaders regularly ask themselves one question: “What does this moment require of me?” This question guides their thinking, being, and acting in all situations.

Your students will explore what it means to be a servant leader and discover how they can use their current gifts and strengths to serve each other and their school community.

Years 8, 9, 10 & 11

Without a strong moral code and guiding beliefs, it is easy to forget to follow Jesus’ calling to “love one another as I have loved you”.

Your students will have time to reflect on and realign with the qualities they want to live by, which will guide their thinking, being, and acting in all situations.

They’ll also be invited to put these qualities into action through an opportunity to reconcile.

John 13:34-35

Staff Professional Learning

For your staff to genuinely reflect Jesus’ teachings and share the Good News, it’s important that they explore how their unique gifts and perspectives align with the Catholic Social Teachings, especially in upholding the dignity of every person.

In this highly engaging and interactive program, your staff will discover the connection between the Emmaus story and the lens through which they can view and engage with your school’s charism and ethos.

Personally, I was on such a high after the day especially viewing how the students participated with enthusiasm, engagement, and openness in their sharing throughout the day.

Speaking with staff afterwards, they all agreed that it was a great way to start Year 10 and they saw so many benefits and highlights come out of the day. In speaking with some students they said it was the best Reflection Day that had been to.
