PX2 Australia Helps Students Prepare For University

Murdoch University and The Pacific Institute

Two TPI Australia facilitators, Simon Eastaugh and Lee Harper Penman, led the facilitation enthusiastically supported by  10 accredited internal facilitators from Murdoch University.

Simon and Lee spent 3 days on the Murdoch University Campus in Perth, which provided the site of a huge PX2 presentation that included, professional athletes, a DJ, iPod giveaways, and lots of other fun surprises.   Some 200 students from Rockingham Senior High School were involved in completing the PX2 program..

With many of the participants coming from historically low educational and socio-economic backgrounds, the training was key in getting them to raise their aspirations for themselves and think differently about their futures.

Thanks to the success of this event several Rockingham High teachers have been trained to facilitate PX2 and will deliver it regularly on their campus.
