Our evaluator, Dr Wendy Moore, has helped us realise the true benefit of our programmes for boys in schools through her professionalism and wide ranging experience in the education sector.
While we thought that the work we do was good, we were not really sure. Now we know. It is most encouraging to have an independent expert perspective such as Evaluation Associates assessing and affirming the work we do with boys in schools around NZ. The financial investment has been worthwhile and we are delighted to have this comprehensive evaluation of our programmes complete.
Our evaluator, Dr Wendy Moore, has helped us realise the true benefit of our programmes for boys in schools through her professionalism and wide ranging experience in the education sector. She was able to ask the hard questions and get answers which will enable us to improve and grow. She is very approachable and this enabled her to gain the trust of all our stakeholders which has led to a comprehensive report. Her evaluation of our ICONZ Edge programmes will be a key tool for us to further enhance our curriculum and to develop strategies of quality and growth for the future. It has been a great pleasure for our staff, volunteers and boys working with Wendy on this project.
For any schools or other organisations involved in education needing an objective assessment, Evaluation Associates and Dr Wendy Moore are highly recommended. We look forward to working with them again sometime soon.

I had a rich and detailed learning experience today. I have a great deal of new knowledge and strategies to put them in place in the short and medium term.
You were a highly motivated presenter who inspired us to create robust appraisal systems which will be levers of change. I appreciated your humour and non-judgemental manner. Thank you.
A really worthwhile workshop - I'm so glad I attended! Thank you!
