A NEW way of inspiring youngsters is being put into practice in Penketh and Great Sankey, in the form of life guru Jackson Ogunyemi and his motivational seminars.

London-based Mr Ogunyemi is managing director of Fix Up Seminars (UK), which runs sessions for pupils, teachers and parents across the country.

He visited Penketh High School and Great Sankey High School, where he honed the study skills of year 13 students through a series of games, songs, chants and Mexican waves.

Penketh High spokesman Christina Myers said: "It really is an inspiration to the kids and gets them to believe in themselves."
