SECONDARY SCHOOL

December 2010

To whom it may concern,

As head of Music at the Victorian College of Arts Secondary School, I have worked with Jacinta Walsh for the past year.
During this period, Jacinta has shown herself to an outstanding teacher and supportive colleague.

In 2010 Jacinta developed and taught the first year of “Body Mechanics” for the VCASS Junior Music Students. Her course work and delivery were outstanding. Jacinta was able to create a highly beneficial, age appropriate and engaging set of course work activities and she delivered this with a high level of professionalism. Her willingness to source outside presenters further augmented the program.

Jacinta’s rapport with the students was outstanding. She developed trusting relationships with the group. This, together with non-threatening challenges and expectations enabled high-level development across the group.

Jacinta proved to be a very supportive and communicative member of the teaching team.
I have no hesitation in supporting Jacinta in her current application.

Confirmation

I hereby confirm, that Ms Jacinta Walsh, in the production of “The Italian in Algiers”
(Director: Nigel Lowery; Choreography Amir Hosseinpour) worked as the assistant – choreographer.

Because her activity was performed with extreme care and precision, she was again engaged for the repeat performances in February 2006. During the rehearsals for the repeat performances, in which new dancers had to be instructed, she was very well organized and in spite of the few rehearsals she could show outstanding results.

I hereby further recommend Ms Walsh and wish her lots of success in the future!

The Australian Ballet

23rd December 2005

To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to confirm that Jacinta Walsh has completed in excess 160 hours practical experience with The Australian Ballet between October 2005 and December 2005. She has been a welcome addition to my Administration and Finance team, and has successfully completed significant projects for the department, such as the compilation of a valuable items register, a printer tender, and the documentation of our induction process.

Jacinta has worked extremely well with the other staff at The Australian Ballet, as the projects assigned to her had her working across several departments.

I commend to you Jacinta as a prospective employee, and advise that not only did we find her intelligent, ariculate and flexible she is highly dedicated to task completion and required minimal supervision.

Should the appropriate position arise, I would happily employ Jacinta as I consider her to have been a valuable member of the team who consistently achieved good results and delivered above my expectations.

Yours faithfully

11th October 2004

To Whom it May Concern:

I am delighted to commend to you, for consideration of your support, “The Australian-German Fashion Arts Gala” by Cinty Promotions that is planned to take place on 12 and 13 March 2005 at the prestigious Atrium of Deutsche Bank / Deutsche Guggenheim, Unter den Linden, Berlin.

We have interviewed Ms Jacinta Walsh, organizer of the event, and discussed the innovative concept of presenting Australian fashion in a variety of cultural and commercial settings. We were impressed by her professionalism and resourcefulness, which convinced us of the project’s feasibility and likely success. Ms Walsh is has already arranged some significant support from a hair product company and has received an enthusiastic response from other potential sponsors during the initial planning stage of the gala.

We believe the “The Australian-German Fashion Arts Gala 2005″ will be an event of high quality, likely to attract wide publicity and media coverage. It represents an excellent opportunity for sponsors to become involved. We wish Ms Walsh well in her endeavors and commend her project to you for your consideration.

Tiroler Landestheater

Innsbruck, in October 2003

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

JACINTA WALSH was a member of the Landestheater Innsbruck Dance Company last season, where she distinguished herself as a hardworking and talented dancer.

In addition she showed great initiative and administrative ability when she took on the task – singlehanded – of organising a large and complicated audition. She contacted dancers from all over the world, arranging in addition to the actual audition, accommodation, travel, biographies etc. for well over a hundred hopeful candidates.

The audition day functioned perfectly.

I wish Jacinta Walsh all the very best for her future.

Jacinta Walsh is known to me since 3 years as a versatile and very intelligent dancer with the capacity to recognize the artistic skills of the created work and the understanding of the structured process to achieve maximum results. Her work has been ambitious and devoted at the same time.

Since two years she undertook my personal reference and especially represented my interests in Berlin on cultural political matters. Her work was well constructed, efficient and courageous and achieved immediate results. Her manners and style are of respectful and highly cultivated forms combined with her warm humour and open clarity.

For the modern dance company of Tiroler Landestheater Innsbruck she organized the audition for dancers 2003 with 300 applications and 150 participants in a very friendly and efficient way, where she dealt with logistic and human problems in a smooth and warm way.

I highly recommend her capacities to become a successful company manager for dance and welcome her interest to study at the International Graduate School of Management.
A person, so dedicated and gifted for this work, like Jacinta Walsh should get the best support for this. She will be herself the greatest support for the world of dance after this very good formation.
