"Warwick came to speak to our year 12 and 13 Childcare students. From the very beginning, it was obvious that Warwick was passionate about the subject matter. He very quickly engaged all the students with his friendly and enthusiastic manner.The feedback I received from the students was that they really enjoyed the presentation, especially the real life stories. Many had no idea how amazing the whole process of conception to birth was and were astounded to learn how early a baby's heart starts beating. Students commented on how special he made them feel by stressing the uniqueness of every single person....
