"Thank you so much for the great leadership course you ran this year with our David Street School Leaders. It fits perfectly with our mission statement of 'Together we will empower ourselves for life long learning'. The skills and ideas introduced to the children were at their level and they felt 'inspired'. They talked about it for weeks after the course and many of the parents have told me how much the children enjoyed it. They have taken the leadership skills back to class where many have taught their class games, and have taken part in planning and running a sporting event for local schools.” Julie Larsen, DAVID STREET PRIMARY SCHOOL |
