"Thank you Maria for the sensitive way you related to
the gifted children in our enrichment program. These children have
an emotional sensitivity and intensity that can often be isolating
and you responded to them in a way that made them feel safe to
express themselves. Your willingness and ability to modify the
program in response to the children was lovely to watch. They left
with new friends and smiles on their faces. You made the day very
special for everyone involved."

Australian Catholic Education Conference, September, 2003.
Maria's conference song, composed specifically for this conference,
provided a sense of continuity and celebration throughout this
conference. Her music helped to bring life and a sense of vibrancy
to the gathering. Maria's musical talents were warmly received by
many of the conference delegates and her influence is set to become
more and more widespread throughout South Australian Catholic
