10. Expert Sessions.
• The girls were really helpful and informative. Their
presentation was very useful and beautifully presented. I
recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about
their Macs.
• Very well organised. Calm delivery. Helpful presenters
ensured that everyone was keeping up. Well done!
• Great work, girls. I really appreciated how you moved
around and helped when needed. The summary was
good and the pace was good - staff could follow the
instructions. Thanks!!!

15. What do they think?
It is a great program, I think more schools should put it in place. When
other students or teachers ask me (what I consider) a very simple
question. I can answer it quite easily and show them what to do. This
makes me realise just how much I have actually learnt!
I think that the teachers respect you more as a student because you are
showing that you are willing to help others. I thought my friends would
call me a 'geek' or 'nerd' for being a MacBook Expert, but they actually
think it is pretty cool how I can show them how to set up their emails and
fix problems.
I do feel valued as a macbook expert as when we are doing computer
activities and people get stuck, they line up to get me to help them. It
makes me feel rather special.
To me it means contributing to Sacred Heart and being a leader. It is also
very rewarding to be able to help people.
