What the parents had to say .....

Many thanks to the parents who have passed on thier comments about the effect the M4 Project had on them and their children.

 

 

Joanne and Gerry Johnson:

"Matthew really enjoyed working on the M4 Project. All the problems and worries that were raised during the project meant that Matthew could start Llanedeyrn High School with only first day nerves to worry about!"

 

Mrs Delve:

"I thought that the M4 Project was an asset to my son, as it taught him to integrate with children who were not in his school. I also thought that he had become more confident and his conversations with me became more logical. I hope that this facility will be available for my daughter, who will be going into year 7 next year. Elliot learnt lessons that could not be taught in school. Thank you to the teachers who provided this for him."

Mrs Wilson:

"I think the M4 Project was a really good idea. Matthew seemed at ease on the first day of term because he was already familiar with the layout of the school and had some idea of what was going to happen when he got there. I think all of his questions were answered in the video and having already met some of his teachers, made his first day less daunting. Matthew has settled in really well and although he would never admit it - I think he's enjoying school!"

Chris Dawe and James Jacobs' Parents:

"Chris and James really enjoyed the M4 Project. From our view, the M4 Project helped build their confidence and self-esteem. They met and made quite a few friends from other schools involved in the project. It also helped them move from a small school to a much larger and bigger school. Without the M4 Project, Chris and James would, without doubt, be and feel very anxious and nervous about settling in and making new friends. For the benefit of other children, we hope the M4 Project will continue."

Mr McNaughton: (Whose son Lloyd didn't even go to LHS!)

"A smooth move and uneventful step from Glyncoed to Cardiff High.Thanks to the M4 project, Lloyd looked forward with relish to his time in high school. From getting lost to making lots of new friends,it seems that a lot of the scenarios played out in the film have been replayed and all have been taken in his stride. Without a doubt the project has made this seemingly giant leap from junior to high school a hop into the world of 'cool'."
