Lauren Munday
Lauren is the author of ‘Mastering Your Mind for Success’, a comprehensive student handbook designed to help individuals navigate challenges in school, performance, sport and life. With a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Administration and a Bachelor’s in Health and Physical Education, Lauren brings a wealth of experience as both an educator and a leader. Over her 15+ years of teaching experience in Melbourne and experience gained teaching in Indigenous communities in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, she has developed a deep respect for culture, community, and the power of perseverance.
In her previous role as the Head of Sport and a Health and Physical Education (HPE) teacher at Star of the Sea College in Melbourne, Lauren honed her expertise in empowering individuals through goal-setting, mindset education, and goal-pursuit strategies. As the 2019 Vice-Captain of Carlton’s VFL team, she further developed a passion for mental empowerment and recognised the profound impact that mindset skills can have on goal achievement. This led to the creation of the THINK SET GO program, which consists of a series of workshops and resources aimed at inspiring both teachers and students to cultivate an adaptive mindset, boost confidence in their abilities, and master goal-setting and performance strategies to achieve their objectives.
Lauren is a sought-after speaker, having shared her insights at the Queensland and Victorian ACHPER conferences and the National Education Summit.

“Why Is This Young Person So Hard to Teach? Understanding the Diagnoses PDA, IED, ODD, CD and ASPD’ – Aphra Millis”
Aphra was great, so honest, down to earth and personable. I really loved the fact that she could talk to the topic both on a personal and professional level. She certainly raised awareness of a number of conditions and diagnoses that we are starting to see more of. Highly recommend her.

Classroom Dynamics – the latest strategies and solutions to positive classroom management – Glen Pearsall
I really enjoyed the small group size. The sessions were interactive and we not only saw Glenn demonstrate how he would use strategies himself but we heard from other educators on their challenges and thoughts and also saw video examples from other schools. I find this multi modal style of presentation much more engaging. It was also appreciated to have a copy of the book to take back to school and access to the online platform.
