I would not hesitate to recommend her as a speaker.

...Kirsty Eagar was great. The girls, especially in year 11, really enjoyed listening to her. I would definitely recommend her as an inspirational speaker especially for students year 10 and above.

Jenny Wang helped us kick off a week long celebration of learning as part of Catholic Week activities at Jubilee Primary. With Jenny's expertise, all students successfully created their own manga characters, inspiring some students to submit art work for the school's mini Art Show. Jenny's own passion for using animation to spread positive community messages could be a great starter for students building their own community message.

Thank you for performing for our students today. It was lovely to meet you. The students and teachers really enjoyed your storytelling. Thank you for your positive energy and obvious love of children.

It was brilliant - the kids were captivated.

Some of the creations achieved through Duncan’s guidance and inspiration were phenomenal
