Which topics work best for a wellbeing day?

Mental health, resilience and grit, bullying and cyber safety are the four most requested. You can combine them across the day or focus on one theme.

How long is each session?

Student sessions run 45–60 minutes including Q&A. Staff PD and parent evenings run 60–90 minutes.

Do you travel to our school?

Yes — Jonny presents Australia-wide, travelling from Brisbane to metro, regional and remote schools in every state and territory.

How much does it cost?

Fees depend on the session length and how many sessions you run on the day. Send your dates and year levels through and Grace will reply with a tailored quote, usually within 3 business hours.

How far ahead should we book?

Popular terms fill 2–4 months ahead, so it's worth checking dates early. Last-minute gaps do come up, so it's always worth asking.

Wellbeing Day Speaker for Schools

A wellbeing day speaker has to hold a whole cohort's attention and still leave them with something usable. Jonny anchors school wellbeing days across Australia with sessions on mental health, resilience, bullying and cyber safety — running back-to-back year-level groups, keynote assemblies and, if you want it, a parent evening to close the day. Everything is tailored to your year levels and the wellbeing focus your school has already set.

What's included

A keynote that sets the tone

The day opens with a session students actually want to be at — humour and real stories first, tools second.

Year-level breakouts

Back-to-back sessions pitched separately for junior and senior groups, so nobody sits through content aimed at someone else.

Practical takeaways

Coping tools for stress and low mood, resilience habits, and clear pathways to get support at school and at home.

Optional parent evening

Close the day with a parent session so families hear the same message and keep the conversation going at home.
