Welcome to The Johnathan Thurston Academy.
In February 2018, Managing Director Johnathan Thurston launched The Johnathan Thurston Academy, a powerful and influential institution that focuses on employment, community, and education engagement. Led by Johnathan Thurston himself, our Academy stands as a national ambassador of positive messaging and a force to be reckoned with.
At The Johnathan Thurston Academy, we bring together the strength of our powerful brand and our extensive networks to foster a sustainable collaborative approach. Our programs aim to create behavioural change, cultivate positive attitudes, and support students in their journey to complete their education and secure meaningful employment.
We pride ourselves on being a community of learning, where personal growth and experiences are shared through storytelling across generations. Participants at The Johnathan Thurston Academy not only experience personal growth and life success through inspired belief, but they also learn the invaluable skill of inspiring others to achieve the same.
Why JTAcademy? Quality Training and Opportunities.

Don’t Be Scared of Failing. Be Scared of Not Giving It A Go.
You might not be the biggest or the fastest, but you need to have that self belief that you're good enough
If you think you are outclassed, you are. You've got to think high to rise and you've got to be sure of yourself before you can win a prize.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
When someone tells me I can’t do something, it’s like someone is having a dig at me and I just want to prove them wrong.
