"Extremely well directed by playwright Scott Robertson, and his assistant Kathy Shortland-Jones. Technically, very advanced. The young cast of ‘thousands’ had word-perfect diction, coupled with smooth and imaginative movements. Their general confidence was amazing, capturing their characters and giving superb comic delivery. A very funny show, the dialogue overflowed with double-entendres and the obligatory pantomime toilet humor. The full house audience loved it." - Web Theatre Review
"You are just about the world's greatest director of kids. And I'm not just saying that. The love, support, help and energy you pour into these productions amazes me and I will miss you! I know I sound all emo but it's true. I'm privileged to have worked with you". - Student, 17
"No one can explain the amount of praise and respect we have for you as a person and a drama teacher. You make people work hard but you make people have the time of their lives and you make us laugh into hysterics. You are an amazing man". - Student, 16

"Your motto of 'Never Surrender' still gives me the courage and strength whenever I'm going into something scary". - Student, aged 13
"In the theatre I am no longer a try-hard. I'm a Performer!". - Student, aged 11
"I am so sad that this FANTASTIC experience has come to an end, because every night and day of rehearsals and shows, I feel that I never stopped learning and becoming more confident with myself as a performer, but also as a person. I can't really put into words how much I owe you but I thank you for the best experience of my life!!". - Student, 15
"It has been an absolute joy to work with you for the past two years. Thank you for believing in me - even when I made stupid mistakes or didn't understand what was being said. You taught me (after I initially had NO interest in Drama at school!) how to be an actor. When I graduate and go do a musical theatre course I will always remember you and everything you have taught me". - Student, aged 14
"You take these horrible 15 year old's at the beginning of the year... and do something... and they come out better people. They're confident. They're happy. They know who they are. Teach me too!". - Science Teacher
"Honestly, I'm so insanely scared about leaving school, but like you've told me a million times, fear is a wasted emotion and so many things in life are scary but you'll still get through them. I know I can and will do. Thank you for mentoring me over the years; that I will always remember. Thank you, Mr Robertson. It's not often you cross paths with such a good person as you". - Student, 17
"Robbo! You get a little bit more inspiring every year. I will always remember you telling us about being the person to change someone's life. You are that person in my mind. You've been there for my entire journey and thank you doesn't explain my happiness". - Student, 14
