What people say about us

“I wanted to say a big thank you for a fantastic event. Our students and staff were touched and blessed through the openness, insight and honesty of the presenters. Being from Tasmania, attending such an event is usually out of reach. We were able to host an event where all of our year 7-11 students were able to attend. It would be amazing if this style of conference could also be available in the future.” - Todd Barker Head of Secondary, Tasmanian Independent School.
