"Thank you again for coming to our school, we truly appreciate it. Everyone seems to have taken a lot out of your presentation.
Some key elements everyone liked:
that you connected on the 3 levels, with students, staff and parents - so that everyone was on the same page. Parents said it was a lot easier to start discussions with their children around the topics at home because they had their own session.
Everyone loved you and how open you were about your life & sharing how you turned your life around
They said you were a fantastic speaker, very inspirational - who engaged really well with the audience.
The one main message most got from your talk was to be true to your own authentic self and to manage your own self care."

YR 5 Student, Penshurst West
"When Luke Kennedy came to our school the most important thing that he said (in my opinion) was
that if you have friends that you have to change yourself in front of then they’re not good friends. So if
that happens you need to find yourself some new friends that you can be yourself around.
This has changed me to only be friends with people that I can actually be myself with(which is already
all of my friends) and won’t ever act cool or tough around my friends and I will always be myself and
never let my fake self take over my real self."

PRINCIPAL, DONNA SNOW
"The impact you had on our year 4-6 was significant. They are still talking about it and we have seen a marked difference in the students being more 'present', particularly around adults."
