TESTIMONIALS

What would you say the strengths of the Rock and Water Program are?

Majority of the program is done through physical activity and participation. Brian encourages and involves every student in the class positively!!  It is delivered in a way where everyone is equal and valued. - Sally Thomas Acres Public School, November 2009

An inspiring presenter with a passion for great stories which always had the group enthralled.  Something I personally aspire to be like.  Thank you Brian. - Ben, November 09

I would say a strength of the program is the hands on approach that you get to actually do what you will teach later.  Inclusive of everyone. No one gets left out. - Anna, Wesley Mission, Novembe 09

Strength of the program - The way that physical actions were always related back to the mental capacity..... feeling grounded / centred and having increased strength, flexibility, fluidity as a result.  Brian's delivery, sense of humour and awareness was GREAT. - Heather, LaSalla College, November 09

Practicality, authenticity and relevance. - Teacher, November 09

That it is a hands on program that will allow all students to be active and positive participants.  It allows you, the teacher, to develop further your skills for reflection and approiate reactions to situations you will find that are presented to you. - Gregory, NSW DET, November 09

What aspects of the program did you find most useful or relevant to your own teaching or work content?

All the physical grappling games - so that the boys can channel their energy into those.  Pluse the goal setting ideas and the exploration of manhood / warrior. - Cydny, November 09

The centre and grounding and alternatives to aggression. - Ben, Southern Community Welfare, November 09

How to teach particular 'skills' to boys (i.e. Self Control, dicision making, compromise) in a way that engages them and relates to their physical and neurological 'make up' as they are completely different to girls and vice versa. - Sally, Thomas Acres Public School, November 09

Anti bullying, self respect, how to avoid a fight. - Micahel, Nowra Anglican College, November 2009
