School Programmes

Our experience training in the corporate sector has shown that those young men and women who have perfected their presentation and etiquette skills are the ones being sought by corporations and companies around Australia.

We deliver customized programmes to supplement the school curriculum. They are delivered on an annual basis to Year 10/11 students. These programmes can be run during class hours or as an after school programme.  

The key skills taught will enable them to tackle important situations such as the interview process and are vital if students are going to distinguish themselves from other candidates with a similar or a better skill set.   Local schools including, Barker College, Woolwich Marist Sisters, St Ignatius' College, Riverview and Danebank have included us in their child development programmes . 

We can tailor a programme to your school’s requirements, incorporating any or all of the modules offered, to create the presentation you feel would best suit your students.  The programmes are delivered by facilitators whose objective is to give all students the confidence to believe in themselves and recognize that their behaviour, posture, manners and presentation will support their secondary or tertiary skills.

The facilitators are leaders have been chosen for their expertise and their ability to engage the students. The sessions are structured to create an informative yet relaxed atmosphere. Handouts, and , role play are used where applicable..

Information

A Matter of Style is keen to give all students the opportunity to participate in these programmes, please do not hesitate to contact us if your school would like special consideration regarding the total cost.   We request that groups are no larger than a normal class size (approx 30)* and that the course be delivered to students in Year l0 or above.  Our experience has shown that this is where the students are the most receptive and where the most benefit will be gained. This is a guide only, we are happy to train larger groups if your timetabling requires it. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
