I was worried that the show would not be interactive, but when the show was here it was better than we all expected. The children and staff loved the show so much that they students asked to have it again. One of our teachers was impressed with the amount of educational content and how the whole thing was written about what we were teaching.

Better than i expected. it was always interesting and kept the children engaged all the time.

I loved it, the man wanting gold was funny.

My assistant principal was worried about the price of the show. But when we had it, the price of the show is worth it. Our students come from a low financial area and it was hard to convince parents to pay. After the show, we had parents tell us that their child has one of the best school day and couldn't stop talking about the excursion.

Certain parts were difficult for students to understand because of characters' accents, especially for students who use English as their second language.

I enjoyed the performance very much because it was very entertaining and funny because all the students were involved in the performance and you really felt like you were there. One of the main reasons why I like it was because of the setting and props in the performance. I did enjoy the performance because as well as being informative it was entertaining and funny. We got to understand the characters personality as well. The only thing that was bad was that because they spoke in a accent sometimes I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I thought that the performance was really good. It was really entertaining and funny to watch. It also taught me a lot like I learnt that gold is twice as heavy as led and that gold can be found in specimens. The only minor thing was that it was a bit hard to understand them because of their accents. Otherwise wise the performance was amazing.

Have experienced the show before, first time at this school. In past performances I've seen a male and female character. The post assessment I did with my students this year (two male characters) indicated the students did not have as good an understanding of the female perspective.. One male did speak about female roles, but the kids didn't absorb much of it. In addition, I'd LOVE to see the aboriginal perspective brought into the show.

First time I've seen the show with an interactive MC, the children seemed to enjoy it.

Loved the experience, got a lot out of it, they were engaged for the whole time. Difficult to understand one actors Irish accent.

The children did not sit down for the incursion and we all had a great time.

The children asked us if they can do it again next year.

Another year for us and the show has improved even more. We have had the show for 5 years in a row and each year our students are impressed and our teachers. The new version meeting the national curriculum helps us a lot. The students of last year remembered the show and wanted to be part of it this year again. Thank you one more time.

Best show ever. Loved it. So funny. I think the gold mining was really hard for them in the past.

Well written for the students to understand and we were easily able to use the show to do further learning in class. I was astonished to see how the students remembered so many of the things that happened in the show. Would have been very hard to have achieved the same result in class using only Black Line Masters and the whiteboards.

The children were always moving and doing something at different times. We had a very large group and the people doing the show were able to handle the large group very well.

Our students are still talking about the show in term 3 when we had the show last term.

Supported our classroom lessons. Our students are from a non english speaking background and they were able to remember a lot of little things from the show that was very helpful in our class lessons

There is a lot of educational material. Well structured incursion.

Thank you. Our students enjoyed the show and learnt some very interesting items.

The children are still talking about the show. As a staff member, my knowledge has increased also

awesome

Yes meets the National Curriculm.

Our students mentioned how happy they were because the adults, us teachers, were also part of the incursion

There was lot of child involvement. Our students do have behavioural problems and to keep them occupied for the entire show was very nice. I take my hat off for the cast and crew who did a wonderful job to engage them.

There was good information connecting to current research tasks in class. Good historical information regarding the goldrush with specific dates and names of actual people. Excellent props for the students to see and use, Full audience participation particularly around mining techniques and living experiences on the goldfields. The use of humour was helpful to keep students engaged.

Feedback from the studenrs was that they liked the full audience participation. They enjoyed the role playing.

The audience mostly enjoyed the production. They thought it was relevant, funny and engaging. Perhaps another actor could have given the show some more depth Giving the students a hands on real life mining experience reinforce life on the goldfields.The venue was quite hot and stuffy, although it is difficult to manage the weather.

The production crew were very friendly and professional and made the set up/down very easy.

1.There needs to be some flexible arrangements as far as using dropbox. Qld state school site actually blocks this.

audience participation was really effective, this kids really enjoyed this aspect of the performance

they really enjoyed it

It was excellent. The content was highly appropriate but I feel that the comedy part could have been condensed. The set up and pack up time were extensive and I didn't think the pack up would take so long which impacted on other events not able to take place in the venue.

Great level of interaction from the students.

See earlier comments.

Just in relation to set up and pack up. I wonder if the process could be quicker?

Fantastic idea really engaged students

They thanked the teachers and said well done for organising and giving students the opportunity to see such a great show which helped them with the test and assignments after the show.
