Student Programmes

Brayden has been involved in a number of workshops over the years, with our School. His ability to connect with our students across various settings is invaluable. Brayden’s ability to establish rapport quickly is a strength of his presentations, where he brings a unique blend of humour and positivity that resonates deeply with our students. Recently, I invited him to speak with our Year 9 cohort, who were facing significant friendship issues and displaying unkind behaviour towards one another.

During his session, Brayden skilfully addressed these challenges, fostering an environment where students felt safe to express their feelings and concerns. His engaging approach not only lightened the mood but also encouraged open dialogue among the students. They responded positively to his insights and humour, which helped them reflect on their actions and consider the importance of kindness and empathy.

Brayden’s impact was evident as students began to shift their perspectives on friendship and support for one another. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any future engagements with our students; his ability to connect and inspire is truly exceptional. I look forward to a continued partnership with Brayden, where he compliments the outcomes we are trying to achieve with our wellbeing program.

Brayden was engaging from the very beginning.  Our students come from all walks of life, from all cultures, some come to us very disengaged and having suffered trauma backgrounds.  Yet, with all that diversity, they all walked out of our Auditorium affected by Brayden’s workshop and feeling his words.  Some even ‘stormed’ the stage wanting to meet him!  Sometimes lived experience talks can be triggers for students but Brayden delivered his truth in an accessible way which provided food for thought to all who attended, staff included.  We are grateful to Happiness Co and the RAC for providing such a service and will definitely have Brayden back.

Kind regards,

Brayden was an incredibly engaging speaker and really reached out to the students. After having many chats with my students after the presentation, it was clear that they were chatting about all that was discussed and many were surprised that they liked it as much as they did. Brayden was authentic and resonated with so many of the students that it was hard not to be captivated.

I love all things social, emotional and well-being so I found this seminar just as useful as the students!

Great work,

Brayden’s presentation to our Year 11 cohort was extremely well received.  His relaxed and personable manner made for an engaging session where girls were able to consider his own personal story with informative activities designed to get them thinking about the challenges of entering Year 12.  The presentation allowed for personal reflection and provided opportunities to plan for the future.  The feedback from our girls was overwhelmingly positive and we will no doubt be having Brayden return next year.

Brayden attended our campus to deliver a workshop on self-esteem, authenticity and the impact this can have on making positive choices. He delivered 3 workshops to different classes throughout the day and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive from both students and teachers. He was engaging and related well to all of the students, motivating them to get involved in the activities. The workshop was well-aligned with our curriculum and gave another perspective on an important topic for our students. I will be booking this incursion again for next year.

Brayden was a great presenter, who engaged 150 Year 10 students with a meaningful presentation. I believe all students took away something from the talk. It was relevant, interactive and enjoyed by everyone in the room.

Thanks

I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Brayden from the Happiness Co and I can’t say enough good things about it! Brayden was able to capture the student’s attention with his infectious enthusiasm and positive energy.

Brayden’s presentation was not only informative but also entertaining. He kept us all engaged with his humour and relatable stories, while still managing to provide practical tips on how to cultivate happiness and well-being in our daily lives.

I highly recommend getting Brayden and the Happiness Co to present at your school. Very age-appropriate content and left the students with helpful take home points.
