• The speaker pitched at the right level for our group, making it clear and easy to understand.
• Over the past few days I have had many students report to me how important and relevant they thought the topic was.
• This is extremely difficult for staff to tackle, especially with teenagers.
• Students were still talking about the issues and speakers for days after.
• Your use of humour helped diffuse any potential discomfort for the students.
• Students were engrossed.
