“Thank you so much for your rich, entertaining and interactive presentations to our students last week. They were well received and appreciated by our students, their families and teachers alike. Watching the students' faces light up each time that you help up a sea creature was fabulous. In our follow up lessons the students have been able to share knowledge learnt using the rich vocabulary that you used to describe the animals and their habitats.
We are ever so grateful that you joined with us to bring some joy and entertainment into remote schooling.”
Vanessa Machado - Discovery Centre Leader (Year 1/2)Bethany Catholic Primary School
“For the preps the incursion was the right amount of time, the presenter tried to make it as engaging as possible and for the first 'real' attempt at an incursion, it worked really well.
This incursion was a driver of our HASS unit and would have been exceptional onsite. Although remote the experience was still engaging and easy for students to access. It was a great success we loved every bit of it! It was excellent!
Brandon pitched the content at the perfect level for this age group. He sensed when it was time to move on to the next animal and was receptive to their comments, reactions and questions. I would recommend we do this as a future incursion for Prep students.
Thanks you so much again for being so awesome and easy to work with!!”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the interactive programs we received over the past 2 days for our children. Brandon as always is such a wonderful presenter and had us all totally captivated throughout. Seeing the native animals up so close was amazing. We could see such detail. Keep up the great work.”

“What an incredible incursion! We all LOVED it. Teachers as well as students.
We thought Xavier was fantastic. We applaud him for doing 3 sessions in a row. That was huge! Xavier was extremely engaging, with a wealth of knowledge. The variety of animals was also great.
Ashlee grade 2 teacher Newport Lakes - Here are what some of the kids say about our LIVE ZOO ZOOMS:
Emily - "Xavier did great because he was handling those animals so carefully and not letting them get hurt. I think that everyone should try it out. You get to see animals, learn facts and get to have fun with Xavier the animal keeper!"
Hassan - "The wild life excursion was so fantastic and we got to see so many cool animals."
Minnie - "The wildlife incursion host Xavier taught us really brilliant facts about lots of animals around the world. My favourite was the fruit bat. It was so calm!"
Edwin - "It was so awesome seeing so many Australian animals at once. Thank you!"
Layla - "Xavier was the BEST! He told us about loads of animals. I loved when the owl flew to the screen and the green frog looked really sticky. 10/10 incursion. Thank you Xavier!"”

“Hi Xavier,
Just wanted to thank you for yesterdays presentation at Naranga school. The students came this morning still buzzing from the experience and can't stop talking about it. It complimented our unit of study perfectly, it was hands on which is how our students learn best and delivered right at their level of understanding. Thanks again and hope to see you at Naranga school again in the future.
Cheers”

“Dear Xavier,
I just wanted to send you an email thanking you for coming out to Kardinia childcare and Kindergarten. It was absolutely wonderful to have you come and teach the children about native Australian animals.
There were many lovely comments given to me from staff members that were passing by listening to the show. Everyone, including myself and the staff in the kinder room, were very impressed at your excellent interactive skills with the children. You sure did make it a very exciting and fun filled incursion. The children were talking about it all day and loved telling their parents when they came to collect them!
Thanks again!”

“Hi Xavier and Madeline,
I wish to express our appreciation for your recent Native Animals: Jaws, Claws, Scales & Tails presentation. You are professional, engaging and informative and your ability to build a strong rapport with Kindergarten children throughout the duration of the hour is remarkable. The Kindergarten children gained an outstanding educational experience. Thank you. Please see below positive feedback from a parent.”

“Russell had me in stiches tonight telling me all the things he learned today when they had ‘the animal man’ visit Kinder. I’m amazed at how much he remembers and how many of the facts are correct! I overheard him telling his Auntie that there was a bearded dragon but we were not to worry because it wasn’t a real dragon and it didn’t breathe fire. When Russell’s Auntie told him she wanted one, he explained that only ‘bush keepers’ are allowed to own them. Russell was also very impressed by the lizard (stumpy tail) that tricked birds by having a tail that looked like a head. I feel so blessed that my child is so engaged and excited to attend Kinder every day. Thank you.”
Jessica Chakir (Russell’s Mum)

“Thank you Xavier for your visit to St Andrews kindergarten this morning. My son has not stopped talking about his experience he learnt so much, which means you must have delivered a pretty age appropriate explanation of things! Although I wasn't there I know my child has had a day at kinder he will never forget! He also knows that the frog feels like jelly and is cold blooded!”

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to Xavier from Wildlife Xposure!! My 4yr old apparently met him (a crab/ spider/ sea star...) at Kinder today and has NOT stopped talking about all the wonderful creatures he wants to help rescue like "Xavier".. Brodie has found a spikey pom-pom in our craft box and is carrying it around telling everyone he saves animals! LOL I'm so amazed at how many things he has been taught and very pleased to have such a positive role model spreading the news about our wildlife. Keep up the sensational work guys!”
