A Stockport school celebrated International Men’s Day with a series of inspirational talks.

“Stay strong, speak up” was the theme for the day at St Anne’s RC Voluntary Academy in Heaton Chapel.

Year 8-10 boys heard from speakers who shared their career journeys and spoke from the heart about how they survived through difficult times.

StateTalking sent three speakers to the event: Jo Sellick, founder recruitment firm, Sellick Partnership, Lee Mason, Key Recruitment and Joe Kennedy from Turn The Page Counselling

Writing about the day on their socials, the school said: “Y8-10 boys had the most amazing, uplifting talk today as part of our International Men’s Day.

“They listened to stories from 4 incredible men from different walks of life to say how important it is to speak up when life was tough.”
