Education Testimonials

“At NZPAA, our Year 13 students are highly focused on their sporting aspirations, with many aiming for careers as professional athletes. While we encourage those ambitions, we also recognize the importance of helping young people understand who they are beyond sport and explore pathways that align with their natural strengths.

Angela's work with Kolbe has been one of the most valuable career-development experiences we have provided our students. She not only facilitated the assessments but took the time to sit down with every Year 13 student individually, unpacking their results in a way that was meaningful, practical, and easy to understand. Those conversations helped students recognize their natural strengths, consider future career options, and engage more intentionally with opportunities such as career expos and tertiary pathways.

The insights gained were equally valuable for our teaching staff. Angela presented her findings to the team, providing a deeper understanding of how our students naturally operate and learn. This has helped inform how we support, engage, and personalize learning for individuals across the school.

Angela has a unique ability to connect with young people and translate complex insights into practical next steps. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for students made a lasting impression on both our learners and staff. We would love to see Kolbe become an annual component of our Year 13 programme and would highly recommend Angela to any school looking to better support student pathway planning, career exploration, and personal development.”
