“The Smoothie Bar program immersed students into the world of enterprise in a fun and engaging way. The presenters treated students as young professionals and gave them the opportunity to develop 21st Century skills in a practical and challenging environment. I would be happy to recommend TRIPOD to any school.”

“Our students left the In My Community workshop feeling empowered to take action around causes they care about. The team were quickly able to build rapport with the students and guide them through the project process. Not only have the students developed their enterprise skills and thinking, but teachers have also been able to experience this style of learning in action to take back into their classrooms.”

“We were so impressed (yet again) with the orchestration and delivery of the MiniBOSS Crack It session. We have been privileged to also have been involved with the Smoothie Bar and this was of the same high calibre! We were most impressed with the control the leaders had with the students and their engagement. They were thoroughly enjoying every aspect of the session and it was energetic and highly active for them. What a fantastic team building experience to have witnessed. Well done to you all. Cant wait to do another one.”

“Thanks very much for your email and the certificate we received. It was such a well run day, we were all impressed with the way your colleagues engaged the students (even on a Friday) and the content was terrific for our current unit. Thanks again, we would highly recommend this incursion to others and would have you back in a second.”

“Thanks again for running such an excellent program. It was an exceptional day for the kids in a very hard time. We have had lots of positive feedback from parents which can be rare. We have all been recommending the program to our teacher friends so hopefully you get to run some more.”

“You guys have taken us on an incredible journey over the past two days, and really given us something to smile about during our learning at a distance program. Coming into this program I could feel the excitement and energy you certainly have them more captivated than I do at our year level assembly so thank you thank you so much. It was just wonderful to have you guys onboard, I think there is a lot to be said about having some fresh faces presenting to our girls and you certainly brought the energy! The way you juggled things and just put things together so seamlessly is really something special, we loved it.”

“We had such a good time on Tuesday. The kids and teachers loved it. Your team was fantastic. We loved their energy. We will definitely be booking this program again.”

“All reports from the class teachers (and the kids) was that the day was brilliant. I popped in a few times and the rooms were buzzing with excitement! In fact, we had a few visiting principals in on the day and they took our stock of MiniBOSS pamphlets.”

“We worked with MiniBOSS to launch our Year 3 Enterprise Unit. The session proved to be the most professional and engaging incursion we had been involved in. So much so that our students continued the theme of becoming MiniBOSSes by starting up their own marketing company called The Ideas Factory. This incursion became the framework of our term and encouraged our students to think about the role enterprise plays in their lives. A group of children utilised their new skills to create a small business at their local market in order to raise money to donate to their chosen charity. We will certainly be using MiniBOSS again and cant thank them enough for their professional and enthusiastic approach.”

“Thanks so much. All the kids had such a wonderful time! You were all excellent and we were super impressed with the facilitators engagement and excitment with the kids. Feedback was excellent from all involved and there was lots of praise for the focus on teamwork and ways the kids could deal with issues they were having. Once again, thank you and I look forward to working with you again in the near future.”

“The reflection and sharing was really helpful for our leadership discussions we are having at the moment. We would definitely get you guys back.”

“Just wanted to let you know the Year Sixes had the best time today. We had really great feedback from the kids and their reflections in their science books showed just how much they learned. Thanks heaps.”

“The In My Community program was well received by our students. They particularly enjoyed the 60 second pitch and the public awareness campaign where they were required to come up with a unique sharable product in a limited timeframe.”

“I thought one of the best aspects was the discussion about positives, negatives and what they had learnt about themselves between some of the activities. The reflection and sharing was really helpful for our leadership discussions we are having at the moment.”
