Thank you so much for all the effort you put into making your school holiday course both educational and so much fun!  My daughter was very nervous on the Monday morning but when I picked her up in the afternoon, she couldn’t stop talking about what she had learnt and how much fun she was having, she was so excited about the rest of the week!!  The course was a wonderful way to spend a week of her holidays and she was able to meet some other lovely people and form great friendships.  Her confidence grew every day and the catwalk graduation was the icing on the cake.  I would thoroughly recommend this course.

Hi Donna. I would just like to thank you for your time and effort throughout the week. You have had such an impact on all of us girls and we are eternally grateful. Personally, you have increased my confidence from the ground up. As much as I hoped, I did not think this was possible. You have renewed my faith and appreciation for life.  Thank you!

My daughter Teegan has just completed your school holiday course (and loved it!!!).  I have never seen Teegan so eager to get up and go every day, and we were blown away with her performance at the catwalk show.

I would just like to thank you Donna and the rest of the teachers for giving me such an amazing experience, fantastic end to the holidays, the girls and boys were AMAZING.  The teachers and you Donna were AMAZING.  The course was AMAZING.  Everything was AMAZING no question about it.  I love you all so much and your all so beautiful

I loved your course it was so fun and your such a beautiful, genuine, honest person Donna, I admire you, you are my role model
October 2011 course – Student

Donna, thank you for all the hard work you did for us during the courses. Donna now when I am bored at home I walk around with a book on my head and I can finally dance with a book on my head.
October 2011 course – Student

Donna, I can honestly say that Georgia had THE most wonderful time in your school holiday course!  Even though she was the youngest (and shortest, by far!) and she was already very confident, she was able to learn so much in terms of deportment, etiquette and looking after herself and making the most of her features.  Every day she came home raving about the fantastic time and the wonderful instructors she had experienced.  The catwalk fashion parade was a wonderful culmination to the week, she was over the moon with her ‘modelling’ as we were, to see her so happy!  If the care you show the students during the school holiday course is an example of how they would be looked after being on your modelling agency books, we would be more than happy to sign her up.

Adam really enjoyed the course which actually surprised me. So thank you and Donna. The graduation was great!

My daughter was reluctant to go to the course because it was going to interfere with her school holidays and her much needed teenage sleep, but with plenty of persuasion and nagging on my behalf she went along.  Every afternoon she ran through her day with us and told us all the cool things she learnt, she assured me she was only going to do 3 days maximum though but by the end of the 3rd day she was hooked and did not want it to end.  She made some lovely new friendships, learnt some essential life skills that are missing in so many young girls today and then to top it all off, she won the Award for Effort photo shoot prize.  One week on and she is still beaming with self confidence. Thank you Donna, you have turned my shy little girl into a self-assured, beautiful teenager.
July 2011 course – Karen (mum)

I definitely enjoyed the course because of the personal benefits. I feel so much more confident. I didn’t think I could walk on the catwalk, but I did. I will recommend it to all my friends. I enjoyed all the classes. I can’t really decide what my favourite one was. I wish I could do it again. I know so much more than I did. Thank you for everything. I love the fact that I know exactly what to do when it comes to anything, especially when it comes to my future job interview. July 2011 course – Student

One of the best things I have ever done, it was fund and you get confidence from it.
July 2011 course – Student

July 2011 course – Student

My overall view of the course was that it was worthwhile and I enjoyed everything about it.  I have made new friends and spending the time with them shows that it is easy to make friends and just be confident.
July 2011 course – Student

I think every girl should do this course as it is amazing.  I have so many new friends and learnt a lot.  I am definitely more confident.  Thank you.
July 2011 course – Student

I loved the course 1000/10 I learnt so much and most of all I am more confident in myself and I am proud of myself.  Continue doing this course and you will make other girls feel the same! 
July 2011 course – Student

The course was fabulous and I’ve told all of my friends how great it was.  All of the teachers were amazing, especially Donna who boosted my confidence 1000000/10!!!.
July 2011 course – Student

Amazing, just plain amazing.  I was like a caterpillar turning into an astonishing butterfly.  I thought I could never feel confident, but I do. 
July 2011 course – Student

I have learnt so many things, the course was so much fun and the greatest thing I have ever done, I loved it.  I have just finished my English speech and got an ‘A’.  Thank you Donna.
July 2011 course – Student

Thank you Donna the course took me out of my comfort zone and my self confidence is so much better.
July 2011 course – Student

Jacinta thoroughly enjoyed her course and would appear to be completely “hooked” on the whole modelling theme.  She attended the course on her own but easily made friends with the other girls in the group.  The only down side is she keeps stealing my nail polish and, whilst she can apply make up better than me she doesn’t remove the foundation dust from the vanity!    I would strongly recommend this course to all teenage girls.  It truly is a wonderful way for them to learn about their future presentation whilst giving them a complete confidence boost.
April 2011 course – Sandra (mum)

My daughter Danielle was so full of life by the end of the week and enjoyed it so much. In my opinion, Donna you are a great inspiration to young people.  For my daughter who lacked confidence and wanted to do it for photography, now wants to do photo shoots herself.  Her beauty inside shines once again and she even got her little part time job the same week. I take my hat off to you, and as a parent with teenage girls, would never hesitate in encouraging any other young person to do do the course.  I wouldn’t mind doing it myself.  All the best.
April 2011 course – Leonie (mum)

There is not much really that can be put in writing about how wonderful this course is & how fantastic all the teachers were to my daughter Brittany.  A new found level of enthusiasm, self confidence & understanding of how to communicate is just amazing.  I believe this course should be a compulsory addition to the school curriculum. A very big thank you to Donna & co for a wonderful week.
April 2011 course – Denise Pyne (mum)

My daughter Tess participated in the April 2011 course and had a wonderful time. She finished the course with a new found confidence, a new understanding of etiquette and enjoyed the incredible experience of professional modelling on a catwalk.  Tess came home “buzzing” every afternoon; I don’t think she has ever had so much fun learning and I think it has left her with an inner glow.  Thank you Donna.
April 2011 course – (mum)

I thought the catwalk graduation night was a great success; you certainly picked up your class and captured the audience!
April 2011 course – (dad)

My daughter Sarah attended the Polished by Donna School Holiday Course and not only did she have a fantastic time she has also came out of this experience with a new level of confidence and self esteem.The work Donna does in this course is priceless. I have never seen Sarah look so confident and happy and I’m sure that attending Donna’s School Holiday Course has given her a new vision for the future and a new ability to move into that future with confidence and grace.   I would recommend the Polished by Donna School Holiday Course and Agency to anyone who wants to give their child a head start in life.

Thank you Donna, my girls absolutely loved doing your 5 day course. They could not wait to go back each day and it was great to have someone else reinforce the values that I have for my kids. They learnt a lot about themselves and I noticed the confidence increase even after the first day. They are already talking about doing the next one in the next school holidays.

October 2010 course – Student

I really enjoyed the course, I am not someone who would normally do things like that so it was really different.  By doing group activities it forced me to really open up and have fun!
October 2010 course – Student

I can’t thank you enough for the confidence you have given my daughter.  Taylah can’t stop talking about her Award for Effort fashion shoot prize and how much fun she had, she can’t wait for your next course in December.  She would be thrilled to help you out in any way.  We thoroughly enjoyed watching Taylah & we are so proud of her. We will certainly be spreading the word about your courses.  Thank you again.  You’re a gem Donna!
October 2010 course – Deb (mum)

I wanted to thank you so very much for the experience that you gave me during the school holiday course.  It was a great privilege singing for you on the night of the fashion show. I had an amazing time and I will never forget it.  Thank you for giving me the confidence and teaching me all those skills.  Singing at the graduation and the catwalk show is an experience that I will always cherish and admire for the rest of my days.  Thank you and I hope to see you at the next course.

July 2010 course – Stephen Cala (dad)

Thank you for a great week of life skills and lots of fun! The course content, structure and the professionalism of those conducting the course were of a very high standard. I have found both the photos and course to be extremely good value for any holiday activity but the skills she gained were absolutely priceless. Her confidence by the end of the week had sky rocketed and my ‘Tom boy’ now has poise and grace. It was lovely to see such a positive transformation. Thank you. I look forward to enrolling my younger children in years to come.
