Testimonials • I enjoyed learning journeys because I felt like the panel listened and were interested in all my achievements. They made me feel good about myself. I received a HD! (N. Lottefier Year 10). • When I put the portfolio together it made me realise how much I achieved in the year. And when the panel asked questions it seemed like they were actually interested and they cared. I actually really liked talking about myself! I received a credit (B. Brain Year 10). • Its better than doing an actual assignment. It wasn’t bad. (K. Schaefer Year 10).
