Teacher Feedback
Ranger Roger was absolutely amazing and credit to hai enthusiasm and interaction with the kids.
On Behalf of myself and the MACC staff, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU.
Despite the rain and the crazy weather today our students had a ball. All the rangers were lovely and knowledgeable. They guided each tour with ease and took the time to chat with our students.
Thank you, for all your hard work behind the scenes to ensure it was well organised for us.
We loved your tour! I did a virtual excursion on the same topic with Year 5 last year with a different tour service and it was not good at all. There was a lady who talked between playing pre-recorded videos of a man at the different sites and it was not interesting or engaging at all. When a colleague emailed me the information about your tour, I booked it hoping that it would be better than the last one and it certainly was.
We thought it was great that the tour was live and that Ranger Jamie was talking to the students while moving around and showing them the different sites. Ranger Jamie was very funny and engaging and he was also very knowledgeable about the content, so was able to answer students’ questions really confidently. This particular class gets very easily distracted and bored, but they were really engaged and interested the whole time.
There was an SLSO in the room for the first part of the session and he said to me afterwards how much he enjoyed it too and that he did not want to leave to go to the next class.
I would definitely book this again. Thank you! 😊
You guys were WONDERFUL, I personally absolutely loved how you engaged our little jobs and you catered to diverse learning styles, getting them to move, role play, sound out the words etc.
The children had so much fun. I also enjoyed how you encouraged curiosity and had a lovely sense of humour.
THANK YOU once again for the lovely experience and I have learnt much from you both!
Thank you soooo much for today!
The kids loved and us teachers loved it even more. Amazing!!!
Thank you for the wonderful Year 4 excursion to the Rocks this week. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did the teachers.
Your activities are delightful, thorough and engaging with just the right pitch of humour and adventure.
We can’t wait to attend another excursion of yours. Thank you again
Today we had our Year 2 Push and Pull Excursion at Stanwell Park Beach Reserve.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for such a wonderful experience for our students. Rangers Bean and Feather were fantastic with the children and ensured all students were engaged and having fun.
This was our school’s first Ranger Jamie Tour Excursion and it won’t be our last!
It was absolutely fabulous 🥳
We had an amazing time and experience.
We had a lovely day today with the rangers at Kamay Botany Bay National Park, they were very informative and engaging and the students had a wonderful time.
Please let the rangers know that we are very grateful for all they did today and that the students could not stop talking about how much fun they had!
The team at St Martha’s would like to give a big shout out to Ranger Roger & Ranger Abby for what the kids described as “the best excursion ever”.
Not only did they make the learning fun but engaged students in activities they would previously never have been involved in.
Highly recommend Ranger Jamie Tours to our colleagues.
I just want to thank your two fabulous rangers for the outstanding excursion today for our Year 3 group.
This was honestly one of the best we have had.
They were so lovely and incredibly organised.
We came with 44 children, not a small group, and the day went off beautifully. The students were engaged, they loved all the activities, learnt a lot and had a blast!
I just wanted to say another big thank you for a great day.
The girls couldn’t stop talking about their day on the bus and asked if we could organise another one with you.
We are booked in for Wednesday 16th June. As discussed, we would love for you to run the excursion again.
Craig, Katrina and I agreed that your enthusiasm, humour and energy made our experience. The girls were smiles all day and highly engaged during every single activity.
Thank you to you and your team for organising such amazing excursions, that we teachers also enjoy.
I just wanted to email and say a big “Thank you”. Our class thoroughly enjoyed the Bush Tucker Virtual Excursion today with Uncle Richard. He had a wonderful range of plant and animal items to share with us and was very engaging in the way he spoke with the students. He showed such kind patience to their numerous questions. The students especially loved listening and dancing to his didgeridoo music, it was quite the highlight for them.
The whole experience, from initial enquiry through to the excursion itself, has been very smooth and easy. I have recommended your tours to the other teachers at my school!
I just wanted to email to say a big thank-you to your company for presenting our virtual excursion to the Botanic Gardens today.
The Stage One Students were so engaged and our ranger were so enthusiastic, even in the rain.
He was very knowledgeable and so patient with all the children’s ‘questions’. We had no idea the children had so many great stories to share about magpies!
It’s been quite a while since I have visited the gardens and I think I LOVED it just as much as the children did!
The incursion was fun, professional and engaging. It was great to be able to share this experience with our students as part of their Distance Learning.
We are so glad we booked the incursion and would definitely book again in the future.
Thank you to Ranger Ky for the outstanding job she did yesterday hosting the virtual excursions of Symbio for my school. What a talented person!
She was engaging, personable and highly entertaining, and the feedback from students, parents and staff was highly complimentary.
Rest assured that I have already recommended this experience to many of my colleagues.
Great job and thanks again.
I just wanted to let you know that this morning’s excursion was amazing. Ranger Ky was so knowledgeable and great at interacting with the children. I went straight from the excursion into parent interviews and many parents could overhear how informative and engaging the experience was too.
Please thank Ranger Ky again from all of us at Cammeray Public School.
You did such a great job with back to back sessions without a break. Thank you for keeping the same level of enthusiasm for all 3 sessions. You must be exhausted now. You shall sleep well tonight.
The questioning with the kids was great and really helped them stay engaged. It was great that they could ask answers and you allowed plenty of time for this.
The koalas were my fave today. I couldn’t believe how active they were in the first 2 sessions. They were just too cute. I am so glad the Tassie Devil came out to say hi at the end of the 3P session.
Thank you for making a school day of online learning lots of fun, funny and different from the normal day of sitting in front of the computer.
Thank you soooo much for doing the virtual excursion with us today! It was soooo amazing and the kids really enjoyed it.
The ranger (Ky) was great and answered all of their questions and had so much information to share!
Thank you again!
Thanks to Ranger Jamie and Ranger Tom for a fantastic virtual excursion. The rangers answered all the children’s questions so eloquently and kept the kids engaged for the full hour!
I thought I would pass on a cute photo one of the Year 3’s drew of their favourite part of the zoom- Ranger Jamie & Tom showing us all the cactus
Our science excursion led by Ranger Jamie Tours was both enjoyable and educational. The risk assessment and syllabus-linked student worksheets provided made the excursion very easy to organise, and having transport options available was incredibly convenient. Thank you again to the enthusiastic staff for giving the students (and staff!) an experience they thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to coming along for another fun-filled day next year!
We always look forward to our next Ranger Jamie excursion!
The students learnt so much and continued to talk about the experience even after the school holidays. I can not recommend this company more to anyone who wants their kids to learn in an exciting, safe and educational setting.
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your organisation.
I also wanted to extend a special thank you to the wonderful rangers for their patience and flexibility on the day.
Year 2 absolutely loved the excursion! It was really special for us as it was our students’ very first excursion due to learning from home for the past two years.
We wanted to say a huge thank you, particularly to “Tomato” Tom, for leading us in our Virtual excursion to the rocks on the 9th May.
He explained things in appropriate detail for the children and they were enthused by what they saw and heard.
Tom is a credit to your team.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and professionalism in the two “excursions” that we have had with you this year so far.
In fact, I even bumped into one of my students at The Rocks last weekend, when we went to investigate further!!
We will definitely recommend you all to other staff and schools.
Just wanted to thank you and the rangers for a fantastic excursion on Friday.
It rained a little, but we had a great time. The kids learnt so much. I hadn’t realised that The Rocks had all these hidden pieces of history.
Your organisational skills are exceptional, and the rangers were friendly and full of information.
It’s because of these reasons we are massive fans of Ranger Jaime tours.
I am a Year 2 teacher from Shire Christian School. Towards the end of last year, we took our Year 2 cohort on an excursion to Symbio (one of the first excursions post-COVID lockdown!) and had a FANTASTIC time with the Ranger Jamie tours.
It was a wonderful experience and all the kids thoroughly enjoyed the time!
I just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing yesterday, the children loved it and are still talking about it today.
Also, the Ranger that held the incursions was awesome and the children adored her!
Thank you for the lovely presentation and I myself learnt so much about animals indigenous to Australia. Overall the children had a good time and talked excitedly about it after.
Overall, thank you for a lovely experience!
We’re about halfway through our second virtual experience with Ranger Abbey from Symbio Wildlife Park.
What a fantastic experience. Ranger Abbey was so personable and engaging with students. Teachers had their cameras off but she still maintained such a friendly persona on camera. The students had a close-up view of all the different animals and she made the effort to address all student questions. Our teachers and students absolutely loved this virtual excursion and we’re so pleased to have booked in with you.
Thanks again for making excursions possible in this new COVID world.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for our excursion yesterday to Botany Bay.
Our Rangers Jamie and Abbie were fantastic, and the students highly enjoyed themselves.
This was my second time booking an excursion with your company and both times have been fantastic!
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the 2 rangers, Ranger Roger and Ranger Angus who took our students for their excursion. I
t was amazing weather and lots of fun. The students were amazed by the stories and were talking lots about the excursion yesterday.
Just wanted to share our appreciation for making it a memorable experience.
Thank you so much for all of your help 🙂
The excursion was such a hit today! Beautiful weather and amazing activities. We all learnt so much and had a wonderful day!
I wanted to thank yourself and your amazing team for our great experience yesterday.
We appreciate the patience you displayed with our students and the passion that you have embedded in them for the natural environment.
We have never had so many students comment that Geography fieldwork was ‘fun’ or that they enjoyed completing the fieldwork booklet.
Just received your videos and I have one word- THANKS !
They are simply great. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into producing them and the kids – big and little kids are going to love them.
I just wanted to say that we had our virtual excursion yesterday with Ranger Ky and it was amazing!!
The kids loved it, the close ups were awesome, and it was entertaining and informative.
Ranger Ky was just fabulous!
Thanks so much for offering this program. The kids would have missed out on this learning without this online experience.
We just wanted to say a big thank you for our Virtual Excursion today!
Ranger Tom was fantastic and did a brilliant job sharing all of the different habitats in the Botanic Gardens. He was so patient with the kids and we all had a fabulous time!
Thank you so so much for this experience!
Just have to say a huge THANK YOU to our ranger for today! What an absolute legend!
Thank you for putting up with our technical difficulties, you were so engaging and had such a positive attitude, you were amazing!
We particularly loved the Jurassic Park theme song! The kids (and us) absolutely loved it and totally appreciated your energy and enthusiasm. A super fantastic way for us to wrap up a mostly remote term 🙂
The Google Meet chats were running hot and they were VERY impressed with the song!
Thanks so much for the zoom tour this afternoon! Please thank Ranger Abby for us. She was fantastic!
The children were excited to see all of the animals and Abby patiently answered so many of their questions!
It was a great way to end our unit on zoo animals and a term of home learning!
We just finished our educational tour with Ranger Tom and it was fantastic!
He was excellent at walking us around the Botanic Gardens and chatting to us about the different plants and animals. He is definitely passionate and we enjoyed this incursion alot! I was also very impressed with his knowledge and ability to answer all our questions.
Thank you for taking us to Sydney. It was a fantastic incursion.
Incursion was excellent both the teachers and students really enjoyed it thank you to Ranger Ky, she was an amazing and engaging presenter.
We just finished our Symbio Live Excursion with Ranger Ky. It was an amazing “excursion” which kept our Year 1 and 2 boys entertained for the full hour.
Ranger Ky was wonderful, knowledgeable and eager to show us around the zoo and let us meet the animals. It was a wonderful experience for the boys and teachers to get up close to the animals and it made us feel like we were there at the zoo instead of at home.
We learnt so much and it has been a highlight of our Remote Learning experience.
Honestly so grateful for the experience and so many of the children have mentioned how awesome it was.
Thank you for continuing to engage the children and having them all involved.
We certainly enjoyed exploring our city and so many of the children can’t wait to visit and see them in real life. Many of the children are using their public speaking skills to persuade their parents why they should explore the Botanic Gardens.
Thank you again!
