Henry completed the entire curriculum (four terms) in Term 3, 2017. In his graduation speech he said:
“Good Evening ladies and gentlemen. In the past year I have been lucky enough to attend Longford and Fraser leadership academy for boys every week, over the course I have learnt many things about leadership and being a gentleman. The knowledge I will take with me for the rest of my life is the assertive formula which is, stating the positive first and then giving the feedback. This is a good communication strategy. The most powerful lesson was when we saw a video of a man called Jack Ma. Jack applied for 30 different jobs and didn’t get a single one. He applied for a job at KFC. 24 people applied and 23 got the job, he missed out. He applied 10 times for Harvard University and wasn’t accepted. But now he is the richest man in China. The moral is to never give up. The lesson I will always remember is when we learnt the W.I.N formula which is “when you, I felt, next time”. This strategy is good for telling people when they have hurt you and what they can do better for next time. This is a clear feedback strategy. I would like to thank my peers for making each lesson fun and enjoyable. Thankyou for listening, good evening and goodnight.”
