This 45 minute live performance uses storytelling, humor, magic and yo-yo tricks to engage and interact with students. They go on a fun-filled adventure with our performer and his spiky haired cartoon side-kick, NED, where they learn that there is a secret in NED’s name that can help them become a champion at school and in life; N (Never Give Up), E (Encourage Others) and D (Do Your Best). The assembly unpacks these three principles of persistence, kindness and excellence. Schools appreciate that the message is simple, straightforward and easily remembered.
