Speciality classes are also available; public speaking, speech and drama and also guitar lessons are available through Launch Education. Launch Education is unique as it uses a percentage of its profit for sustainable development in developing countries.

Mikaela Blackwood (Dip.ASCA, Cert. Comm) has been teaching for over four years. She teaches Speech and Drama in an independent school in Sydney. Mikaela received a UAI of 99.55 and a Premier’s Award, she currently is studying International Studies at the University of Sydney, and was awarded a Scholarship of Distinction in 2005 from the University of Sydney. Through her studies and travels, Mikaela has become aware of the many problems in our world. She hopes that Launch Education can play a role (though it may be small) in improving the lives of those less fortunate. Mikaela hopes that in the future Launch Education will set up programs in developing countries to teach English and basic health information. She hopes that her students will be able to travel with her to such countries and be a part of the teaching team, not only making a difference in the lives of those we visit, but also a difference in the lives of the students themselves.
