TESTIMONIALS ABOUT FAMILY LIFE S.A. WORKSHOPS.
I was worrying about how I was going to teach this subject to Years 4 to 7 as the specialisation teacher, and this course provided me with everything I needed. Gina was extremely knowledgeable and informative, being able to relate through her years of experience the best way to tackle different topics. I feel much more confident taking on this position and the resources we have purchased will be really useful. Thanks Gina!
