Testimonials

  • I have worked alongside Annika Holland for years and have always turned to her for information and her expertise on topics that require a very sensitive and intelligent response. Teaching our students topics such as sexuality, pornography and gender is not an easy task. Annika approaches these topics with confidence, an educated experience and with care. Annika possesses a lovely ability to level with the students to get the important information across engaging the boys to respond in the most educational way. There is no better educator on these important topics that I know of.

  • Annika always supports parents with appropriate and timely communication and education. I am particularly grateful for the parent information sessions provided by Annika Holland on Social Media, Identity, Wellbeing and Consent. These topics were explored by the students, at school, via school-based programs and seminars. By being offered the opportunity to attend a parent information session, concurrent to these areas being addressed at school, I felt up-to-date and better able to support further discussion in the home context. This was invaluable.

  • I believe that Annika has been able to deliver an amazing and effective teaching format that covers everything that a young man needs to know going into the future. Mrs Holland’s lessons throughout my time at school were full of answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. Her level of enthusiasm in expressing this information made it clear that Mrs Holland knew a lot about this topic and allowed myself to gain an appropriate and mature understanding of relationships.

  • Annika’s work with our middle school students in discussing important and delicate matters regarding growing up is invaluable. She is direct with the students in the language that she uses, and sensitive to the needs of the students when addressing these issues and replying to any questions that they may have. I believe that the students see her as a safe source of information in that they trust her to respond sincerely and with compassion.

  • I was very fortunate to have Annika teach my then 12 year old in year 7, she was immediately insightful of who he is and how to support him and I believe her passion and knowledge will be highly valued not only by students but also parents knowing their children have another ally in helping them navigate growing up in a world so very different to the one we grew up in.
