“One thing I've noticed recently is that the students that attend HAFWAY have a better outlook and are more mature when dealing with conflict in the playground, and they seem more social than others and I think that's down to the sessions you guys run."

“The level of service and support you have provided over the years, and continue to provide on a daily basis, going above and beyond for every child, young person and adult who walks into your building, is second to none."

"I've been in HAFWAY since year 7 so HAFWAY has formed me to a point. HAFWAY genuinely got me through high school 'cause I hated high school. Sometimes I would think, I've just got to get to the session at HAFWAY."
