'Hope Stretch 8 goes well. I absolutely loved working on it when I was there, and it made me realise the field I really want to work in, so thank you so much again! I am in the very early stages of launching a student magazine, which was actually inspired by my work experience on Stretch.' Laura Goldie (Stretch 4)

'It no longer looks like something thrown together in a week's work experience but rather like a small independent professionally written and produced magazine and is therefore of the highest credit to those involved in its production.' Richard Smith (Stretch 3 and 6)

'I have just finished looking through Stretch, which I really enjoyed: stylish, dynamic, fun and interesting!' Mr John Watson, Headmaster

'More professional than a student magazine has any business being. Even our notoriously hard-to-please Head of Design stopped as he walked by to have a look and then praised how well it had been done in no uncertain terms.' Evan Jeffries (Barker Brooks)

'What a great looking magazine! Fantastic to be able to be involved with that whilst in school.' Elyse Taylor (Make Us a Brew/ The Big Chill)

'Great issue, really like it – words, design, personality, all come together really well; it’s a very coherent mag. Congrats to the team, fantastic job!' Russ Thorne (Freelance journalist and author)
