Karen and John Winnett, parents of Ellen, 12 years old, Mentone Primary School

You taught Ellen some very important skills while she was at Shine. Important, but things we’d never even considered teaching her. Things like how to greet people and shake hands, how to handle situations when people disagree. Things that we as adults sometimes take for granted, but are learnt skills – and it’s much better to be taught the right way to do things than have to learn everything by trial and error. She enjoyed going each week and came home with only positive things to say about her evening.

Keep up the great work –  as parents we appreciate everything you’ve done for Ellen. I’m sure she’s a much more confident person as a result as I’ve seen her use the skills she’s learnt from you many times already – especially with us. I’ve even used a few of the ones she’s taught me!
