NATURAL HIGH SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
FEEDBACK - SURREY 2004

TEACHER QUOTATIONS

“This is an extremely professional performance. To be ale to turn it on so effectively at 9am is the hallmark of a first class entertainer. David gets the message over brilliantly, we have on going drugs education but a new, young face, makes all the difference. Teachers can’t be cool – a pop singer can! Perfect for target audience, it was very good for the students to see so many police men or women – it shows how seriously they & society are treating drugs education. Teachers know better than anybody about the difficulties experienced engaging kids for the first time and appreciate the gift when somebody else can do it so effortlessly!"

Very appropriate for the target audience – children loved it – as did the ADULTS! David is very personable, has a very child friendly approach, lots of humour and kindness. Thought provoking – pitched at all levels & types for interest e.g. academic, sporting & performance articulated. Very enjoyable, informative, interesting & relevant – message delivered at appropriate level.” Wray Common School – Reigate
