Facilitator Profile

The team of two men did such an amazing job, especially with our challenging and hard to engage children. They were funny, engaging, full of excitement and jokes. Their knowledge on Aboriginal traditions and culture was also amazing to see and for the children to learn from. One of my children said after the show (Kindy child) "that was the best show I have ever seen!".
