“My daughter had limited English when she started at Shine. After a couple of term’s study, her English has improved a lot and more importantly she has become more confident in speech. We believe she will benefit much from the skills learned at Shine.”

“I just wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thanks for all your help preparing Ben for his Year 7 speech. He had a shocker last year and it really rocked his confidence so I think we were all a little anxious going in to this year’s speeches. Through a lot of hard work and all your advice and support he has come through this year’s really, really well - and still smiling! He came third in his class final. He feels like a winner and has renewed confidence - which is what it’s all about.”
