PERFORMANCE AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Total Focus Australia is very active in the school system, recently hosting a Youth Career Scripted Performance entitled A Passionate Life at the Laycock Street Theatre located in Gosford. This was promoted by the Department of Education and the Prime Minister of Australia’ s Department who personally requested the Federal Member to attend on his behalf as he was overseas.
We focus heavily on motivational concepts to firstly motivate and inspire youth, and then let them know that anything is possible.
“ A Passionate Life” was set up to inspire youth to“ want” a great life and push through any barrier to get it.
Hence, evolved:
