Our Satisfied Parents

It's a wonderful and positive experience for our son. He was doing public speaking this time. He told me he wants to try "debating" "next time"!

This is HUGE!!!

Thank you to his coaches!

Rosaline, Parent Speaking Camp Koalas

From start to finish, this course has continually challenged and helped to develop my son's speaking skills. With his entry into high school approaching rapidly, I often worry if my son will be able to appropriately express his views - however, through this program, I now feel more assured than ever that my son will be able to speak confidently, formulate clear ideas and communicate well within his classroom and outside of school too.

The directors were helpful and always willing to answer my nagging questions, and my son has also made lasting friendships. He has improved and achieved his personal bests in the difficult area of public speaking and I couldn't possibly recommend this course more.

James, Parent Debating Hawks

My son is starting high school this year and is fantastic to have a school like yours, offering these courses to young people. About the course, he found it enjoyable and extremely useful.

Well done guys! Thank you for everything and please keep me updated about your upcoming events.
