Feedback
From Teachers:I was pleased that the presentation was fun and yet it had a balance of straight forward, sensible information about life choices and relationships. Clear advice pitched at the students’ level of understanding. Good audience participation. Good pace and engagement with the students.
Just to say thanks for a very professional, fun and thought provoking session.
This morning at the school [the Challenge Team] gave the most marvellous presentation. There was a real chemistry with our Lower Sixth Form. Their timing was perfect; and there was a nice balance of laughs and the serious message. I was impressed how they got the "fear factor" in; but emphasized the "freedom" idea of the message so well (above the fear). Even though the last two groups we have had were excellent, I really think this one was "right on the money" with their delivery and message. There was a very pleasant "buzz" about just how good it had been throughout the day. My new second in charge could not believe how super the whole message had been. It was not what he had expected.
It was superb – the students really enjoyed themselves and found the ideas very thought-provoking. I have heard lots of interesting conversations since!! We will most definitely be making use of the service again.
Excellent informative presentation. Empowered pupils to say no if they want to and provided good evidence for practising chastity. Pitched at an excellent level by knowledgeable and appropriately aged presenters.
I thought the presentation was outstanding. It held the pupils attention for an hour. It had a good variety of imaginative methods of putting across the message on a number of important issues. It gave key facts and points of view in a clear and understandable format.
The pupils enjoyed the presentation – some were very surprised that people aged 20+ thought it was OK not to have sex.
As always – excellent. The Team had youth, innocence, experience and sincerity – the audience had clear empathy with them.
From Pupils:I recently had an assembly by the "challenge team" at my school, and i
really found it inspriational [sic].
I really respect you people for doing what you are doing, how you respect
your virginity and seem to cherish it.
As a teenager im [sic] currently in a world where it is the single goal to
"get laid" as it is commonly said. For a while i too was among the crowd of
people who sought soley [sic] after the prospect of sex. Until i heard what
you had to say.
It really changed my view on sex, virginity, marriage, and even girls! I
really thank you for this, and as much as i doubt that it will be possible
for me to keep my virginity until my day of marriage mainly because of the
sheer collasal [sic] amount of pressure on me to to lose it, i do hope that
i can follow in your footsteps as much as teenagely [sic] possible.
Hey heard ur tlk [sic] at May camp last sun and it was excellent. … It really hit home with people and made them think more about chastity. Well done u guys, keep up the good work. I am already practicing chastity and it just added to the list of reasons why to.
Thanks for doing the talk at [my school]! It was really really funny and it meant a lot, too!
you lot came to my school on monday and we thought you were wicked =] thanks for coming in
Youve [sic] really inspired me ... i had no idea
You guys Were Soo [sic]Awesome!!
Loved It Much Love And Thanks...Youve [sic] Put Me In Much Perspective!! X
Keep on doing what you're doing, you people are awesome!
hey erm you came to my school a few days ago. I just wanted to say a really big thankyou! I am now practising chastity myself and my friend is as well, she already lost her virginity and really wished she hadn't so she is starting from scratch and says thankyou as well. It was very educational but it was funny as well which is something the stuffy old teachers dont [sic] seem to be able to manage!
You Lot Were AWESOME! I know alot [sic] of people that were touched by your presentation and are practising chastity now
you came to my school today to talk about the importance of sex at a later stage of life, i found your talk so so interesting and it really ment [sic] something to me. i really feel clear now that yes your right, sex can wait and there are other great things in life with relationships which i have seeked [sic] before. but now its even clearer. so thanks you so much.
Really funny opening but so true! It made us think about how we would react. It was good.
True to life and important for us to consider all options. No one tells you “don’t do it”, there’s too much pressure on us to do it.
Gave us good clear advice. Made me think it’s OK not to be pressured into having sex until I’m ready and married.
