What people are saying
I think Kat Apel may be our Book Week treasure. The boys love you! Teachers, students and parents have loved hearing you talk about your books and your family, and all the teachers have been impressed with your style and your activities.
Kerry was a great speaker and more than met our expectations. Would definitely recommend her to others.
Karen’s motivating, inclusive style and high-yield activities really had the students at all abilities working hard, creating stories and experimenting with their imagination.
Gabrielle has visited our school for the past three years and run her Chinese watercolour painting session with our year 7s. This complements the text that they study at this year level, Chinese Cinderella. Gabrielle is a true professional with a wonderful instructional manner. She incorporates her Chinese heritage into the workshops beautifully and has the students spellbound. The lovely thing about her sessions is that being able to produce a credible Chinese watercolour at the end of the ses [...]
I did have some issues with finding a speaker who was available to meet our needs. The staff from Speakers Ink preserved in finding a speaker to meet our needs including days and time.
Dee read from her book 'Beyond Belief' and shared the incredible story behind its creation. The students were captivated as she spoke about her writing process and the real-life events that inspired the book. After the reading, Dee conducted a fantastic writing workshop with our students, sparking creativity and helping them develop their own storytelling skills. We are so grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented and passionate author!
On behalf of all of the staff at Sacred Heart School and the students who were in attendance yesterday, we would like to say a big thank you for your very engaging and interactive workshops. They were absolutely fantastic. The students are raving about you and are already drafting and re-drafting their writing pieces. There was a real buzz at our school during and after your session. We look forward to reading more of your work and practising the writing skills you taught us.
Anisa was so engaging and interesting to listen to. Our students all loved her session and there was a great buzz of enthusiasm for poetry after her session.
The sessions both with the students and with the teachers were fantastic. It made all the teachers talk about what and how we are teaching as well as ignited a passion in the teachers to implement changes to their practices.
Andy had a well organised, engaging and interactive presentation. He shared some of his published books, talking about the process of getting a book to a published state. Andy also brought in his version of a 'writer's notebook', which tied in very well with our students' own launch of personal writer's notebooks. Andy was engaging and entertaining for our yr 3-6 students, with his sketching and involving them in doing their own 'two animal' sketch.
