Testimonials
Dub was a very engaging presenter and was able to get both our visiting school children and the ACU adult students participating in his workshop. He was flexible and worked around our timing restrictions. His presentation was fun and very interesting.
Australian Catholic University - September, 2025Although I organised Dubb's visit to my school I was on leave at the time of his visit. I had a number of teachers get in touch to tell me how impressed they were. I am now back at work and have asked the students their thoughts. The kids gave Dubb 10 out of 10 for his presentation, they loved his sessions so much. He was described as very kind and extremely creative.
St. Joseph's Primary School - August, 2025Dub's presentation engaged and inspired our students. He pitched the content to their different age levels. It was fun and enjoyable.
Westdale Public School, NSW - July, 2025Many of our teachers and students found Dub's presentation to be interesting and engaging. We hope to book him again in the very near future to do illustration workshops with some of our students.
Goondiwindi State School - June, 2024Dub Leffler was warm and engaging, and the children (and adults) all enjoyed his presentation.
