Student Feedback for this event:

“Everything we did today was new to me and will help me, thanks so much Danni as it was heaps of fun and I learnt so much – like how to write a resume, what skills I really need to enter the workforce, and also how to deal with relationships and other people.” Hanna.

“I thought it would just be a person talking about careers and nothing else which would be boring but Danni caught my attention and it was all interesting. I learned the media changes things, to feel good in my own body, that girls have a lot of insecurities but really we can do it! Writing a resume that shows we have skills and are confident is really important. Today was FUN!” Anon.

“I thought it would be a lot of information just loaded into us but I enjoyed all the workshops and the fact that we had an opportunity to join in. It was all about learning about us – and not just random information! I learnt what goes in a CV, what it means to be a left or right brain thinker, how to develop my creative thinking and to seek balance in all aspects.” Nell.

“All the presenters were fantastic and VERY helpful, thank you for a most worthwhile day.” Sophie-Anna.

“I liked all the information I got from Danni. I thought everybody was really well prepared and there was no time wasting. I learnt helpful hints about CV writing, interesting things about my personality, and that the workplace is improving for women, it just all helped me focus.” Anon.

“I learnt the things you need to find out about yourself to improve your personal attributes and skill set, that emotional intelligence is just as important as IQ, the Resume essentials and all about enterprise. Thanks!” Anon.

“You must know yourself before others can know you. I enjoyed each part of the day equally as the presenters were equally as nice and creative in their approaches and they taught us so much. You can always improve on your weaknesses!” Tennille.

“I thought it would be boring today actually but I wasn’t expecting so much excitement! It was completely beyond my expectations.” Claire.

“I loved all the enthusiasm! I learnt to develop the right side of my brain, to direct my strengths in my CV to apply for businesses, that skills are important, and that we should do something (as a career) that we will enjoy. It was an opportunity to know more about myself and understand my strengths and weaknesses.” Anon.

“Thank you so much Nikki, this might sound cheesy but you have changed my life. I learned I am brilliant, beautiful, I can be anything I want to be, and that I have so much to offer. Thank you because I had a lot of self doubt…” Shanell.

“I learned that self esteem is valuable and how to enter the workforce with the skills that are needed.” Whitney.

“I thought it would a bit boring and the same old mumbo jumbo that I have heard before but I was wrong! I learned a lot about valuing myself, exercising my brain, celebrating myself and encouraging others to do the same. There was lots of emotions, happiness, emotions and hugs.” Cassie.

“Loved it thanks! I learnt about how to write a resume, and to use both sides of my brain. It was very interesting and enjoyable.” Theresa.

“I learned that if you speak out about what you feel, you will find most people feel the same, I now believe in myself.” Olivia.

“I honestly I thought it would be boring, but it was actually very interesting and fun.” Kiara.

“I learnt to be a good employee and that I am brilliant! It was fun, interesting and we got to join in.” Jodie.

“I loved imagining our older selves and how we talked about how we should be happy with who we are. Well done guys, it was fun!” Monique.

“Be positive to yourself and be enthusiastic about what you do and what you aim for, have a go at everything and don’t hold back!” Alexa.

“The ladies talked to us and not AT us which made the whole day and interesting experience, I am unique and special. You girls rock! You are my heroes of the week!” J.

"I seriously didn’t think it would be as great and fun as it actually was. I really loved where every girl had raised their hands up, it just showed me that not everyone is perfect, we’re all the same and just to be yourself because the person you are inside is very special. I learnt today how to be ready for a job interview. I really enjoyed how you guys came, you made us understand, and become more supportive towards each other." Aisha.

"Honestly, I thought today would be boring! I didn’t really want to come but I was totally wrong!! My favourite part was Love The Skin You’re In. I learnt to be ready for change, self respect, stand up to others, left/right brain, resumes. Love the program, very inspiring…life changing experience!!" Ebony. 

"The most favourite part of the day was everything, it was all good and it made me feel a lot better about myself. I learnt about self esteem, how to write a resume, girls coming together as one and self respect. Career Gal Rocks!!" Melisa G.

"I wish all my friends were as honest and as easy going as you guys. Life would be a lot easier." Shalyni. 

"Thank you Enlighten Education for coming to our school and educating us about a lot of different things that are really important to us. We love you guys so much." Dorinda.

"I thought it would be lame and cheesy but I was wrong. My favourite part was hearing about your stories and the “Love the Skin You’re In” workshop. I found the skinny isn’t beautiful message inspiring. Nikki was very motivational and really inspired me to think for myself and be who I want to be." Laurie-Anne.

"My favourite part of today was when Nikki showed the slide show about her childhood. It showed that instead of just saying what she did she had experience to back it up. I learnt that I am Wonderful, Brilliant and can do anything. Enlighten Education is a great program which truly reflects the inner side of you." Justine L.

"I learnt today that it doesn’t matter what you look like, be happy with yourself, stay in school until year 12 and pick a career you will enjoy. The cards are helpful and an inspiration." Emily A.
