Danielle Joy, mother of Madeleine, 12, Bentleigh West Primary School

My daughter Madeleine was a shy, soft spoken, kind-natured 11 year old girl.

Madeleine has always found it difficult to keep friends and speak in public. Madeleine said to me when speaking amongst her peers that she “didn’t like the sound of her own voice”. As a parent, I was crushed to hear this.
I enrolled Madeleine in the SHINE Academy for Girls and within a very short time Madeleine spoke more clearly, stood taller and made eye contact. Madeleine has now made new friends and has learnt how to keep them.
Madeleine has learnt amazing life skills over the past two terms.
Melissa has been a fantastic, calm and caring role model in Madeleine’s life. Melissa has taught Madeleine the skills needed to enter high school next year.
Thank you so much for your wonderful program.
Each and every child should have the opportunity to Shine!
