2014 NSW Parliamentary Inquiry
into Home Education
"I LOVED your interview with HAP....
It was so grounding to hear such a sensible relatable attitude."
"I love you two. I love and admire this discussion, it really is a valuable topic. Thank you for presenting it xx"
"We are very excited having you as a guest speaker for this session and helping us to be better prepared to support our kids’ education at home."
Red Cross, Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator
"The roundtable discussion was invaluably enhanced by the reflections and ideas you shared.
A common theme that ran through the discussion, and which was so clearly and coherently articulated by you, was the importance of accepting the uniqueness of each individual and his/her ‘holistic’ development. I learnt a lot, especially because it came from a position of an authentic lived experience. I also had the good fortune to read your response to the inquiry report. You are doing such amazing work."
