Paddy runs Educational workshops with Learners of all ages.
He delivers messages about Positive Attitude, Give It a Try, and Be the Best You Can Be.
Paddy draws on his 30 years experience as a High School teacher, 12 of which was teaching at an Alternative Program for troubled teens. Paddy goes back to the Alternate high schools to work motivate students.
Paddy has been involved in the past year with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s “A Community of Character” running workshops at both Elementary and High Schools.
Paddy has helped run Make the CUT, a program for graduating grade 12 students with LD and/or ADDHD who are going on to University or College that is run jointly by Carleton University and Algonquin College.
Paddy also bases his positive and active approach on his years as a High School basketball coach. Paddy coached the Hillcrest Hawks to city championship teams in both Junior and Senior while his son, Andy, was playing for the team.
Testimonials
“You have a wonderful ability to take something that every student loves (music) and turn it into a tool where they can learn more about themselves. You really make them think about the things that are important to them in life and also give them some coping skills when things go wrong.”
