Students and Staff found Nadia's performance both engaging and entertaining. The Year 2 students were completely entranced by her storylines, props and songs.

When her, uniquely layered performance begins, Nadia Sunde sans makeup, wigs, or dramatic costume changes embodies the character of Professor Frankie Falconette and invites us on an epic journey into a world where a small, skinny boy with glasses held together by tape triumphs against all the odds and becomes the household name who-must-ALWAYS-be-named! If Magic is the supernatural force that changed Harry Potter’s world on every fundamental level, last Wednesday, Nadia Sunde most certainly maximized its power to weave her spellbinding craft, vividly demonstrating how great stories are universal, surprising, and unexpected. How they constantly touch and shape our understanding of the world and how they endure forever in our hearts and minds. Inviting the senior students of Seven Hills State School to fly on quidditch sticks made from mops, sending magical objects soaring over the heads of an audience of mesmerized muggles, and encouraging volunteers to compete in fast-paced side-splittingly comedic challenges, every minute of this gifted thespian’s performance was at once both touching and hilarious. Deeply connected to the love and devotion these diverse creators and thinkers at our school share for the ubiquitous and most wondrous Harry Potter, Nadia Sundes’ magical performance will remain one of their most memorable ever! Thank you, Nadia!

Seven Hills State School - November 2022

It was so wonderful to have Nadia back for Book Week this year. The Collectors experience for our Prep to Year 2 students was magical. The students were so engaged from the activities prior, right through to visit from Sprig and Magnolia on the day. The Harry Potter show was extremely entertaining for our older students. Both shows allowed for student participation and lots of fun, while at the same time ensuring the students were well-managed. Thank you again, Nadia!

Whites Hill State College - October 2020

Our students were filled with joy and delight when the The Collectors came to visit. Sprig and Magnolia, aka Nadia Sunde and Melissa Redman, are perfect foils for each other. Sprig explodes with exuberance and humour while Magnolia balances this with serenity and calm. Their message of care for nature is embedded in every aspect of the program, from the pre-performance letters, the performance itself, and then children visiting Little Leaf Village website where they can send an email, view photos, listen to stories and songs, and even get a recipe from Magnolia's Kitchen. The children have been so excited with the replies. The Collectors are real in the eyes of a child, up there with the Tooth Fairy and Santa.... but better. I will definitely invite them back.

Seven Hills State School - August 2019

Nadia's sessions with our students were amazing! She catered to the three different age groups beautifully, with each group being thoroughly entertained. Not only were they entertained with theatre, song and hilarity, the student's were managed in a way that meant there were no issues with student behaviour. She set clear expectations and then off she went on a marvellous adventure of storytelling and humour. I have never seen our students as engaged and happy as they were during Nadia's show. We would definitely recommend her to other schools and we will be getting her back here at our school in the future!
