“We have always loved the show. It keeps the students wanting more and allows students to see what can happen with science – we haven’t got the facilities to do much exciting science. Students loved the spectacular experiments and were eager to participate.”
Mary Hook
PETERBOROUGH PRIMARY SCHOOL
“We first booked the Science Gang in 2006 and David Lampard’s performance was one of the best we had ever had. It was educational and fun. The kids loved it as did the teachers. We could not wait for the next flier to come around so that we could book another performance and this year’s show was equally good. We can’t wait for the next one!”
Teacher
ST JAMES COLLEGE (Tasmania)
“The performance was very popular with students and teachers alike. Students were totally engaged throughout the show. Educational content was well balanced with fun, theatrical aspects of the show.”

“Excellent show, very informative, entertaining and engaging for students. Thanks for making science fun and exciting for our children. I am sure they have learnt a lot. Keep up the good work.”
Belinda Downward
OUR LADY OF LOURDES SCHOOL
“A great balance of education and entertainment. We especially like the way you involved students in the scientific explanations. You held the attention of all students, including those who are difficult to entertain for long periods!”
Kirsty Mackereth
PADTHAWAY PRIMARY SCHOOL
“As a Junior Primary Science teacher I am once again amazed at how accurately David interprets the level of understanding of JP children. He presents an energetic, exciting and informative show. It’s a thrill to watch the children spellbound ‘hanging’ on his every word. Our principal described him as ‘the best visiting educator’ we have had at Magill.”
Norma Biggs
MAGILL JUNIOR PRIMARY SCHOOL
“Fantastic, exciting and informative! Children not only enjoyed the entertainment they absorbed lots of facts and were able to explain what was happening. Having both students and teachers participate in some of the experiments added to the fun. Thanks again!”
Sharon Taylor
KERSBROOK PRIMARY SCHOOL
“Once again David has the audience in awe… The staff and students all remember David from previous visits and eagerly await his presentation. The children are all disappointed when he finishes and regularly call for more. Students and staff talk about the show and the activities well after it has finished and the idea of fact sheets for later referral is an excellent communication mechanism. Well done David – see you next show.”
Bob Yarrow, Principal
PORT GERMEIN PRIMARY SCHOOL
“A fantastic show. Many teachers have approached me to say it was simply wonderful. The children loved it for the scientific and entertainment value. We look forward to seeing you next year.”

MARRYATVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
“No negatives at all David! As usual you lived up to our expectations! The ‘biology’ section was interesting – all that spit – yuk!! I’ll never be the same again!! Seriously… you provide an entertaining, light-hearted look at science, yet you balance this with appropriate warnings. Brilliant David! Well done!”
Lynne Fox
HOUGHTON PRIMARY SCHOOL
“I think the show was very funny… DAVID IS A LEGEND!... I thought David was really funny. He knew what was funny for us. He explained everything so I could understand it… I learnt heaps… The science show was GREAT. That was the BEST show ever. David has the best ever humour… I really enjoyed David’s show because he was very funny and put science in a fun and interesting way… I enjoyed the whole show, it was exciting and kept you guessing… WOW!!! is the best way to explain. BANG BOOM SPLASH!!! It’s exciting, fun and you learn…David is WICKED!... After watching the show I realised that blowing things up isn’t the only fun thing in science.”

Various teachers
HOUGHTON PRIMARY SCHOOL
“This was an excellent presentation. It helped all students to be amazed and appreciate the wonders of the world. Students had plenty of opportunity to participate. Their attention was held all the time. Science facts were so clearly explained… Loved it.”
Jan Frost
LENSWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL
“An extremely entertaining yet informative show! The presenter related very well to the children and obviously enjoyed being with them and amusing them as well as teaching them scientific ‘truths’. We were concerned that 3 shows in a day must be hard on David’s voice – does he have one of those head mikes like the pop singers have? He has already achieved pop star status with our students!!!”
Alison Sutcliffe
ST JOHN’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL
“Thank you for such a wonderful performance! Thought you’d like some feedback from our reception / 1 class who were totally fascinated by your experiments (so too were the parents and teachers!). Lively, entertaining, motivating and educational. You have a great passion and gift for explaining science and making it fun at the same time. Hope you can visit again in the near future.”
Sharon Taylor
KERSBROOK PRIMARY SCHOOL
“An excellent well planned presentation which engaged the students from R-7 highly! He has an innate ability to communicate to both children and adults, issues surrounding science and how it relates to the “real world”. A fabulous sense of humour which had all the audience exhilarated in laughter! We’ll have you back next year!”
Catriona Ditroia
VIRGINIA PRIMARY SCHOOL
“As science teacher for the JP I sat in on all 3 sessions that David presented, and marvel at his energy, enthusiasm and commitment spanning all 3 sessions (291 children). David has the ability to relate to, communicate with and excite young children but at the same time he is able to stem their excitement, refocus their concentration so that his ‘Science Show’ becomes educational and fun.”
Norma Biggs
MAGILL JUNIOR PRIMARY SCHOOL
“The group was 100 R-2 students and David’s interesting and lively presentation kept the children’s attention and gave them lots to laugh about, think about and comment on. David is an excellent presenter, he relates well to the age group and has a great finale!”
Helen Trengove
CHRIST THE KING SCHOOL
“The presentation was excellent! There was a wide range ages (5yr 12yr) and they were all kept entertained for the hour and a bit. Lots of info for the older children and teachers and lots of movement and fun for the young children.”
Anne Wilkseh & Kirsty McArdale
SWAN REACH AREA SCHOOL
“A fantastic presentation that had all the children enthralled. David engaged the kids so well. David was absolutely fabulous, ‘cool, wicked, awesome’!!! We were absolutely delighted!”
Monica Lee
