What people are saying
Interesting, engaging, interactive, easy for the children to understand. The kids loved it!
Children who live in far flung regional areas are often deprived of opportunities their city cousins take for granted. These kids devour the opportunity to listen, learn and engage with the writers of the books they read but never dream they may have the chance to meet personally. Allison Tait is one author who makes the dream a reality. As a founding member and organiser of BRW Festival my job is made super easy when you have an Allison Tait on your guest list.
"Gaye Chapman brings a different dimension to the illustrator session. Her multi-sensory games give the children a chance to fully participate in activities leading them to draw without constraints. Children of all ages enjoy her approach, particularly being so hands-on and using the senses of sight, sound, touch and taste to inspire them to draw. Her sessions with senior art students were highly appreciated with the students responding to her creative methods. They particularly enjoyed being ab [...]
I just wanted to send you a personal thank you for a very entertaining afternoon. You captured the attention of S1’s for an hour and that is some feat!
Justin was prepared for the visit and well equipped for the presentations. He spoke with enthusiasm, charisma and ease and frequently used his books as examples. He told us about his life before he became a writer, how it is like being a writer and what he plans to write in the future. All students were engaged with his presentation and where all eager to ask him questions. Justin D’ath is a great advocate for literacy, whether it be getting students interested in books, or inspiring child [...]
It was so lovely to communicate with Edwina - the whole process was very easy. Her visit was quite a different experience for our students but one that they responded very well to and got a lot out of. Thanks again.
We have now booked Prue Mason for the past 4 years and she always meets our expectations. When students have read and analysed one or two of her novels and can then ask questions of the author face to face, it is very special. Her workshop makes the reading relevant but also stimulates in the children an interest to write for fun. We shall book Prue for next year and would encourage other schools to do so as well.
Sandie is the best! She's super efficient and friendly.
It is always a delight to have Marco along to present to our youngest students. He brings wit and wisdom, and his love of poetry is clearly on display. Marco gets the boys involved, by asking them questions, asking them for their own stories, or acting out a famous poem. We look forward to seeing Marco again next year!
Sheryl, just wanted to say a BIG thank you for being so terrific on Saturday -- you'd put a lot of thought into it, and it was so appreciated ... Susan Johnson, author and journalist. Thank you, Sheryl! It was so great to meet you today and you did a beautiful job. I hope our paths cross again! ... Lauren Elise Daniels, author and editor
