The Essential Life Skills for Success program is a NEW and unique concept which has been freshly written by the Gollatz Team for the more mature student. The young adults will learn and practice life skills not taught anywhere else but are vital for life's success. (The Essential Life Skills
for Success program is not a continuation of the Cotillion events nor is it a type of supper club).
