"..The children were continuing to dance around the playground at recess One boy commented: that was the best Italian lesson ever .....!!"
Pierina schiavello, St Margaret Marys PS

"During LOTE week this year, the year 7’s and 8’s experienced both Indonesian and Italian performances. Personally we loved the Italian one as it was full of humour, but we also learnt how to say words in Italian ..we hope to see him soon!!"
Dimitra and Ari (Students from Marian College)

"We think the Italian performer, Emilio, was an excellent performer. He showed us the story about his father and how the Italian immigrated to Australia. We gained a clear understanding of the hardships they had to go through and the culture of Italy.
Lina & Taran (Students from Marian College)

"Thanks for your performance today. You presented the topic 'Immigration' in an amusing way that kept them engaged. When l asked the students why they enjoyed the performance they said that it was great the way you included them.
