SCHOOL TESTIMONIALS

Coaching Program at Lavington East Public School

The tennis coaching program at Lavington East Public School has been a fantastic experience for our students. Pat has developed such a positive rapport with the children, taking the time to learn their names, understand their individual abilities and build strong relationships with them from the very beginning.

What has stood out most is Pat’s enthusiasm, patience and ability to make every session fun, engaging and inclusive. The students look forward to their tennis sessions each week and are always excited to learn new skills and challenge themselves. Pat has created an environment where students feel comfortable having a go, making mistakes and celebrating their progress.

It has been wonderful to see students develop not only their tennis skills, but also their confidence, teamwork and willingness to participate. Pat consistently encourages every child, regardless of their ability or previous experience, and ensures that all students feel successful and included.

From a teacher’s perspective, Pat has been a pleasure to work with. His professionalism, positive attitude and genuine care for the students are evident in every session. He has made a real impact on our students and has brought a wonderful energy to our school.

We are incredibly grateful for the time, effort and passion Pat has put into the program at LEPS. He is a fantastic coach and a valued member of our school community.

Coaching Program at Hume Public School

As a school we try and provide a large variety of sports for our students. We always try and offer new sports our students would not often have an opportunity to participate in outside of school. This term we were offered the tennis program run by Pat Cartwright. Pat honestly went above our expectations in his 4-week program. His communication before the commencement of the program benefited from the program’s success as well as his presentation of the program.  

The tennis program run by Pat has been a tremendous asset to our students, providing both skill development and a supportive environment for our students who find physically activity challenging. Pat consistently demonstrated exceptional control and confidence during every session, ensuring the lessons were well-structured, organised and engaging. One of the most impressive aspects of Pat's leadership was the personal connection formed with each participant—Pat always knew the student's names, fostering a sense of belonging and personalisation which is so important with our students. He made eye contact with each student when talking with them and took the time to support students who required it, with one-on-one support. As a result, students not only developed their tennis abilities but also gained self-confidence, teamwork skills, and enthusiasm for tennis on Fridays. The staff and students spoke about the enjoyment and professionalism of the tennis program within our school weekly and often made positive comments regarding the way Pat ran the program. It is by far one of the best sports providers we have had at our school.
