Glen Gerreyn

Today Year 9 had a guest speaker, Glen Gerreyn, who ran a seminar called “Brilliant Young Mind” during Periods 2 and 3. Glen spoke to the boys about how to approach their studies, sport and life.

He discussed why we procrastinate and how to avoid it (“chunk not lump”) and the importance of setting goals and targets (“get a dream that is big enough that you want to run towards it”). In regard to study and hard work he said “you get the brain you earn, not the brain you want”.

Year 9 will be setting some goals in the next week or so. In the next few days you may wish to ask your son about what he got out of the session today.
