Testimonials
It was a great day. I got really positive feedback from the Year 7 teachers who were doing 'Black Snake' with their class. What Carole explained about the research she had done and the documentation she had found was exactly what they were looking for. Her sessions with our Year 4s who were studying Dragon Dawn also went very well.
