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.

The children felt like they were "in the moment" when stories were told. They thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for the various acting parts. It was a fun, humorous performance and the costumes and props were superb. Thank-you for giving the grade 5's such a memorable show..

More than we would have expected.

So much involvement.

That was awesome! They were really funny! I learnt so much from that short time. It really felt like we were on the goldfields!

The best show for schools and for students. Everything was perfect.

They thought that the characters were real

With it being such a long show it would have been better if it was broken down with more activities involving the whole crowd

The invoice wasn't sent till after the performance would of been good if it had of been sent before hand

The pacing felt a little slow at times and two hours is a long time. Around the 1hr 30min mark, students began to get restless. There was a lot of content covered in the 2 hours. the actors were good, upbeat and handled the students well if they were chatting or otherwise needed their attention reigned in. Sometime difficult to hear, but that's probably because the hall is large. The song at the end was a highlight, kids loved that in particular.

Actors did a good job of stopping and redirecting when there were some chatty kids. Quick stop, told them to hush in character, then continued. Kids had fun with the roles they were able to play and the group song.

Pre-planning roles of students works well. ...Also small random pullouts...lots of opportunities to particiapate

The students enjoyed Lucky the miner, to the bushranger to the sergeant. The show moved well in story line. Much was covered!

As a school we will book this and their other shows in a 3 year cycle. First the Colonial Show, then the Gold Show and the Anzac Story in the 3rd year.

Thank you for an enjoyable, educational and interesting show

Our children had a great time and loved the themed performance and how it was interactive.

Just great!

Such a fantastic interactive experience for the students!

The actors did a great of not only involving the chosen students, but all of the audience.
