I attended the presentation by Amped4Life Trust on choices young people make and their consequences at John Paul College on Friday 30 June 2008 and am writing to say how impressed I was with it.

Amped4Life Trust was presenting to our Year 9 to 13 students and, with they very funny audio-visual "warmer", he soon had their attention and continued to hold it throughout the next 45 minutes.

It was refreshing to hear a presenter who related so well to the students and established a rapport very quickly by "speaking their language" and portraying a very "real" picture as far as the drug and alcohol messages he delivered. They spoke openly and honestly about they own life, the poor choices he had made and their devastating consequences.

It was very evident he cared deeply about the messages he was delivering to the students and was passionate about helping to redirect the lives of young people.

I would not hesitate to recommending them as a speaker to secondary school students.
