Great knowledge and insight conveyed in an easy to understand way.

Kristy Young, PIttwater House –
Difficult to do online
Liam McConaghy, The Hills Sports High School –
Where are the links to the videos shown in the presentation? Thank you
Brooke Willcox, Queanbeyan High School (Verified user) –
Good quality considering the transition to online delivery. The YouTube links on the videos are pointless – it would be better if they were sent out in a recourse. I may have missed it but dding a note that a printed copy of the syllabus is recommended.
Margaret Pascalis, Menai High School (Verified user) –
Great presenter and information
Nicholas Hartnett, Moruya HS (Verified user) –
Resources were exceptional and explanations of activities were very well done.
Lucy Woods, Hennessy Catholic College –
Great examples of activities that can be used in class.

Madalyne McEwen, Birrong Girls High School –
Loved the practical activity ideas. Am very excited to use these in my classroom.
Lisa Busch, Ingleburn High School –
I completed this course online due to COVID-19. I loved it. CAFS has recently shifted from TAS to PDHPE, so breaking down the syllabus and linking HSC content to Prelim content is so valuable to allow for forward planning. I loved receiving and linking activities to the syllabus too. This will help keep content engaging while teaching it for the first time.
Alexandra Sablatnig, Oxford Falls Grammar School (Verified user) –
Fantastic information, I feel confident to start my own preparation and programming to teach CAFS in 2021
Melissa Szymkow, Colo High School –
It was for me no different being there – as I rarely ask questions, just talk the time to soak up the information. Excellent presentation – thank you.
Nansey Fedele, Westfields Sports High School (Verified user) –
A better use of take-home resources should be provided especially since it’s a zoom TPL and not a face-to-face one. Games have been included, however, more activities and information around each content area should be provided also.
