You Choose Presentation

On the 21st of July, Melissa McGuinness from ‘You Choose’ came to Heathmont and spoke to the year 12 cohort about road safety, where she shared her story. After the tragic loss of her son, Jordan, who drove under the influence and killed himself and 4 other people in another car, Melissa was heartbroken not only because she lost her son but now she had to live with the fact that her son was the reason 4 other people passed away.

Melissa then created ‘You choose’ to encourage young people to take responsibility for their choices behind the wheel. Melissa’s story was extremely powerful, and we have heard much positive feedback on the presentation.

We would like to thank Melissa for coming all the way from the Gold Coast to Melbourne for the first time and presenting at Heathmont College.
