Highly useful! A unique perspective of how Melbourne evolved and of the uneasy relationship between cultures. Jan had their attention for the full session. We loved the printed images on shirts and signposts to reinforce the information.
Adam Watman, Caulfield Grammar
A vivid tale, often spiked with larrikin humour, this is an educational and entertaining take on a classic Australian story.
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
It’s obvious that Jan has worked with many school groups before, with his good rapport and ability to keep the attention of the students.
Scott McNulty, St Joseph’s College, Geelong
The students were relaxed and attentive, with good use of space, practical visual aids, and interesting detail on the characters involved, followed through to the end of their lives. Look forward to seeing you next year.
Mary Bullock, Braemar College, Woodend
‘Buckley’ was well researched and linked into our history program very well. His preparation of the participating students was professional and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Roger Crabtree, Eltham College of Education
Excellent. It supported what we had learnt in class and Jan was both commanding and credible to the students.
Jennifer Todd & Shelley Mulvenna, Karingal Park SC
