and fitness advisor. He is bold, bouncy and brimming over with
energy and enthusiasm. He has spent a lifetime involved in sport
and physical fitness. A former New Zealand and Australasian light
welterweight boxing champion, he has achieved international
success through goal setting and determination and has turned
common sense into an art form.
• ACCOMMODATION
You will be twin-sharing with a fellow Head Prefect (if you
are staying in the Hotel).
Billy Graham began life with few advantages. He would have been born on the
wrong side of the tracks, if his mates hadn’t stolen the tracks first!

Billy’s is a story that romps from a nine year old boy selling discarded record
albums from the local dump, to the Billy Graham of today, in demand all over the
world as a unique motivator.
Billy puts his winning philosophy into practice every day of his life. Most
importantly, he loves people and delights in sharing his zest for living with
others, whether they be business executives or school children. His warm and
enthusiastic presentation inspires his audience to challenge their outlook and
increase their potential. He indeed is a personal motivator!
