Shenley Court Specialist Arts College

 “Well planned beforehand new exactly what to do in preparation, the presentation exceeded expectations and more, the presenter “David” was excellent. For the first second he had the girls attention & he kept it throughout. An excellent role model for young people. We are about to do a series of work on Healthy Lifestyle & problems of Adolescence. This complements this & will be very usefull. All Year 7 attended & I’m sure gained great benefit from it. Well worth having, the atmosphere was great. David was totally “in control” & was able to relate to students very easily.
