NOVEMBER 2020 - FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS ABOUT ON-LINE LESSONS

It has actually been a very un-stressful, very engaging and enjoyable day. My child has remained engaged and focused, it's been a pleasure to work with him. Thank you so much for everything    

The structure of the live lessons and the information that is shared has made it easy for us to juggle our day around to ensure our daughter is not missing out on her learning. She enjoys being able to see her friends and interacting with the online learning.    

Simple to do as lots of information in different places. Our daughter loves the lessons on-line as she can follow what is being taught and sees her friends.
