“Thanks Lauren! 😄Our Year 7s found your presentation worthwhile and certainly enjoyed the variety of communication/ teamwork activities included. They left your session with a bunch of useful strategies”.

"The Think Set Go program was perfectly timed for our Year 10 Wellbeing Program as the Year 10s move towards Exams and VCE Transition. Lauren's friendly and insightful approach created a positive and engaging atmosphere for the students. The program provided valuable strategies for maintaining a healthy mindset during this critical time in their academic journey. We received positive feedback from both students and staff, and we would highly recommend the Think Set Go program to other schools looking to support the wellbeing and success of their students."

“Lauren has been working with the Yr 7 cohort this term. Think Set Go is a much valued inclusion in our well-being program. She has great insight into the needs of the student's, provides lesson content that is relevant, fun and captures their attention. We have loved the follow up lesson plans and activities as they provide the necessary springboard for ongoing discussion. It has been so beneficial to be able to address the current needs of the cohort through Lauren’s flexible and professional approach. I highly recommend Think Set Go if you are looking for an interactive, relevant and valuable well-being program”.

I enjoyed the mentor tasks because I become closer to my homeroom.

“Think Set Go worked with our international Netball team to run the ‘Teamwork makes dreams work’ program. This provided an exceptional platform for students to collaborate, communicate, and develop essential skills that are vital for success in a team environment. Through a series of well-designed activities and challenges, students were encouraged to work together in teams, fostering an environment that celebrated diversity, inclusivity, and mutual respect. Lauren gave the students ideas on how to boost team moral and how to focus when under pressure. The teamwork program also cultivated a sense of camaraderie and unity among participants. By working closely with our students, they have learnt to appreciate and celebrate each other more often. Lauren’s ability to engage the audience and deliver content with passion and enthusiasm was truly commendable. I would strongly recommend this program to any type of team”.

"I'd been stuck in a rut to complete my VIT project. Lauren helped me focus on the big picture and to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe that the strategies Lauren taught me helped motivate me to achieve my goal sooner. I will continue to use these strategies in my full time teaching job to help me with planning, preparation and managing obstacles along the way".

Lauren was knowledgeable about the topic and had great personal and professional experiences to draw on. Thank you for a great day!

Lauren was very friendly and approachable. She made everyone feel welcome and by the end of the day, it felt like we had known her for much longer than a few hours.

The abundance of resources and the way that very area covered embraced thought in to such many areas of my teaching.

Engaging and relevant as well as having practical strategies and resources, I am very glad I came along and that a colleague was also part of the PD so that we can start working together to bring it into our school.

Overall, great and inspiring.

Great experience to draw upon, great range of ideas. Easy to follow presentation, simple explanations, lots of examples. As an adult it is great to try out these activities before getting students to do it.

Thank you for a very engaging and interactive presentation with practical ideas that can be taken into a school setting as well as personally, as well as a great resource already in photocopying/worksheet mode.

Fantastic! Engaging, knowledgeable and very applicable resources that can be adapted for F-12.

The main thing I learnt was how the smallest thing can impact someone for the better or for worse.

I learnt to think and slow down.

I learnt the value of my friends and why I truly like them so much and this made me realise how happy they make me.

To always listen to people and be respectful as you never know what they're going through.

I learnt that getting stressed and worried in a situation can make the situation worse but you can control your thoughts if you focus and stay calm.

I have learnt about other people’s values and that a smile can make someone's day.

I learnt that it’s ok to have nerves and communication with others is key.

I learnt how to value people and how to value yourself.

I learnt to stand up for others and don't be a bystander.

I learnt how to have a good mindset and flip my bad thinking.

I learnt that I am in control of my thinking.

I learnt that it is important to back yourself so that you feel confident when you do things that are challenging.

“It was wonderful having you at Mentone Grammar. Your energy and enthusiasm were well recieved. The students thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and thrived during the group participation activites. Thankyou."

We were incredibly fortunate to have Lauren assist us in the implementation of a new program, where she designed and delivered a bespoke ‘goal setting and mindset’ workshop for our junior development program participants. Leaning into her expertise as a teacher, Lauren delivered engaging content, using a variety of delivery methods, props, and activities to best engage with our cohort, aged 12-17; although her magic domino magic trick won over the adults too! Delivering a variety of introductory and advanced concepts, Lauren shared valuable tools for participants to apply in their sporting careers, and life more broadly. Her sessions are engaging, age-appropriate, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything! The activities were not only fun but also beneficial in the leadership field. I learnt heaps and I was also able to test my skills with other peers.

I loved doing all of the games because it was a fun way to learn instead of just sitting and listening, Think Set Go actually interacted with us. It grabbed everyone’s attention.

I learnt how to be a good leader, collaborating, being empathetic and resilient. This incursion will definitely stay as a everlasting memory in my school life.

Think Set Go’s Leadership incursion was an outstanding success. It was incredibly engaging and was clear by the students’ positive body language that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. The program Lauren and Jo put together for us tied in perfectly with our leadership unit and I was particularly impressed with how well they connected with the students, meeting them at their level and fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. It was an invaluable experience for the students.

Lauren and Jo were knowledgeable, approachable, energetic and enthusiastic. The class got so much out of the session.
