Join one of Australia's most influential teachers, Gavin McCormack, as he speaks about Raising Resilient Children, his 7-step program for parents to help their kids navigate today's complex world.

Wednesday 6 August, 6.30pm at Manly Library.

Drawing on the latest neuroscience of learning and years of teaching experience in mainstream and Montessori schools, Gavin’s transformative methods are helping children build resilience, develop emotional intelligence, and grow into confident and compassionate human beings.

Gavin believes when children are given independence, the right tools, and the encouragement to build on their strengths, their potential is limitless.
