Interesting,
informative & the material was well presented & hands on.
Excellent learning as all styles of learning were addressed...
found easy for the students to interact with th etopics and the
materials... Lesley

We
(staff and students) were very impressed by your team!
The
school is still buzzing about our Medieval Day… It’s almost a week
since!
Raymond
Nashar – Samaritan 2005
Both
students and staff were particularly appreciative of the zero
tolerance of unacceptable behaviour each presenter consistently
enforced!
Kim
Widrich – Lavalla 2006
After
so many years you are now part of the school tradition... you're
fantastic... teachers and students get a lot out of it... your
presenters are just so knowledgeable!

Some of our
presenters do not have a background in secondary teaching.
Their skills are far more widespread, and include acting,
performing, sports coaching, martial arts, and educational guides
at historical sites or museums. All are coached in the
fundamentals of multi-sensory and interactive education.
Sian is an extremely experienced
actor and presenter of school incursion plays and activities (like
the Safety House
Program for primary schools); as
well as school holiday programs, and some children's
television.
Sian has shown excellent results
in several topics, and is clamouring to learn more. As you would
expect from someone with her background, her mastery of the scripts
is outstanding, and her interaction with students is
superb.

Nigel is an extremely
experienced martial arts teacher, who runs evening classes
each week. This allows him a lot of free mornings to
work with us at schools, which fits well with his other background
as an British re-enactor and historian.
Nigel's presentations are
excellent; and, as you would expect with someone of his
background: his communication with, and control of,
student groups, is exceptional. He consistently scores
top marks from teachers and students.

David is an extremely
experienced circus performer, who can juggle and twirl fire with
the best of them. More importantly from our perspective, he not
only performs, but teaches on a regular basis. His company Cirque
Mystique runs incursion programs for schools in circus skills
(contact our office for details).
We are extremely fortunate to
have David available as a presenter, as he vastly increases the
depth of our performance based and interactive sessions.
Particularly for those schools where he gets to teach the students
to juggle!

Fabian is a
professional juggler, jester, entertainer and actor. His credits
include palying the Wraith King who stabbed Frodo in the Lord of
the Rings (so he has his own action figure).
Fabian has
proved an immensely valuable addition to the team, both for his
professional skills, and for his enthusiasm with
students.

Michelle is a professional tour
guide and presenter, with great experience in communication with
all age groups. Her ability to engage and inform her audience
is only adding to the effect of the scripts she is learning for
us.
The scripts she has been
learning since 2007 have encouraged her to start her own
studies of Medieval history, and she is getting excellent
feedback for the way she presents information and engages the
students.
Michelle is now training to work
with special needs, and trying to get in as many teaching days,
with as many students of as many cultures, as she
can.

James is an 'Artificer' (he
makes historical props for a living). He also has an engaging
personality, and a great love of working with children. So we were
delighted to finally talk him into participating in our
presentation days.
Fortunately he has enjoyed them
immensely, and the feedback forms indicate that both students and
teachers have enjoyed his presentations as well. James will be
learning more presentations for us as fast as
possible.
