FEEDBACK
Thank you for your very professional presentation on sharks today at our school. The children from years one through to six were highly engaged and they all came away with a greater understanding of the part sharks play in our world. Many of the Biological Sciences Outcomes (Primary) were touched on and it helped reinforce Science concepts taught in class.
Our Year 5/6 classes really enjoyed your Shark presentation. It was extremely engaging, thought provoking, and informative. The highlights were the colourful images and the sharing of your personal experiences. As a result of participating in this incursion, our students were excited to research more about sharks and discover their role in the marine environment. Thank you Amanda for sharing your passion with our students. What an amazing life you live! I think it is important for our students to be exposed to a variety of career paths and yours is one that I know inspires others to follow their passion and live an active lifestyle.
Amanda came to speak to a group of students about sharks. She spoke about the characteristics of sharks and their importance to the food web and biodiversity of the ocean. Amanda kept the students engaged and involved throughout. They have been more than happy to share their new knowledge with others.
Amanda was such a wonderful and well-informed presenter. She was able to engage and motivate different groups of students ranging from six to fifteen years old. A shark expert and a science aficionado. We would happily have her back and highly recommend Amanda Elizabeth to other schools.
Thank you so much for your wonderful presentations today. The students were buzzing afterwards with lots of shark discussion. There were also lots of students inspired by what you do and were asking lots of questions about what to study to be a shark biologist.
Thank you for today, I have had very positive feedback from students and staff about how interesting and engaging your presentation was.
Thank you so much for your presentation! It was so well received, we had some wonderful feedback from students, parents, and staff. Your presentation was pitched at the perfect level for a fairly varied audience and was really engaging. The work you are doing reaching out to students is invaluable, it makes such a difference to students to hear things straight from an expert. Please be in touch in the future if you have other programs/presentations on offer.
Thank you! We really enjoyed your presentation and the children learnt so much. We will spread the word and wish you lots more engaging presentations.
I just wanted to thank you for your fantastic and engaging presentation today. I received some extremely positive feedback from both students and teachers. I actually had 5 students come up to me on duty at lunch to tell me how much they learnt which was really cool. I personally really enjoyed the presentation and am so thankful you reached out.
It was a pleasure to have you sharing your knowledge and passion for SHARKS.
