Head teacher of English at Fort Street High school regarding Isabella Walker (English Extension 2 student, 2023)
“If ever there was a student prepared to navigate the unlit and uncharted currents of intellectual enquiry, it would have to be Isabella. After an exquisite process of investigation and selection, her subject, the fragmented self, was settled upon and investigated with impressive sophistication. A clever and engaging conversationalist, Isabella provided the year's most philosophically challenging discussions and it is to be hoped that she can pursue her interest in such matters at tertiary level.”

"I can confidently attest to Emma and David’s sophisticated delivery of class content which goes above and beyond NESA’s requirements of the English course. Not only do Emma and David ensure students are well-versed in their texts, but they also encourage students to develop and expand on their own personal voice and analysis which is critical in their navigation of the English curriculum"
