What people are saying
Candice entertained our P-3's with her stories. The students loved the puppets and getting to be part of the show. Candice's interacted wonderfully with our students and catered for all of the levels in the different classes.
Lucia was so warm and friendly. She was extremely organised and had an engaging digital presentation for the students. Her demeanor with the students was exceptional and they responded so well to her. Definitely would recommend!
Jonathan was wonderful! The student's were extremely engaged with his presentation and immensely enjoyed listening to him.
We had a lovely Literature Event yesterday. Catherine Bateson was fantastic, especially for poetry, all the sessions went smoothly and we have had great feedback from the staff and students. The English department have even said that students would have liked more time with Catherine for the poetry component. We are now thinking about next year and would love to have Catherine back. We had a great time, thanks so much.
Astred Hicks has recently delivered a guest lecture to a group of students in the Master of Publishing program, for the second year in the row. Her expertise, passion, and ability to engage and inspire the students were truly remarkable. Her love for books and design was contagious, which created a positive and inspiring atmosphere in the classroom. Astred encouraged students to embrace creativity, think outside the box, and push the boundaries of traditional book cover design and illustration. [...]
We were thrilled to have you visit our school! Your engaging presentations truly captivated the students and staff, reinforcing the love for books. I don’t think I have laughed so much during any other author visit. Your books have been going like hotcakes! It’s wonderful to see the students so excited about reading!
We were treated to a visit from the much loved, award winning author Pip Harry! Pip's energy, warmth and love of literature was contagious. Pip made contact in the weeks prior to her visit to learn more about our students and their needs which resulted in her delivering four tailor made presentations for each cohort. Our students were engaged but they also felt heard as Pip spent every spare moment answering questions and warmly conversing with our students. It was a visit we will never forget! [...]
James was a huge hit with our students and his sessions sold out - up to 800 students in our biggest venue. He had the kids enthralled and was such a pleasure to work with too. He is very easy going and positive.
Sandie's ability to suggest an author to fulfil our need made the selection so much easier. Her knowledge of their talents and experience meant that we found Dave and were able to have him confirm in a short time frame. Thanks Sandie for making this such a positive experience.
“We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! Tiff’s use of props and visuals to connect with the themes in her beautiful book was very engaging and stimulating for our students. The students and I loved learning about Wonder Earth with Tiff”
I wanted to let you know about the success of the Writers’ block event, at Robina branch library and auditorium last Saturday. It was such a good day and the feedback we received on the speakers was overwhelmingly positive. Frances was very engaging, great to work with, and pitched her presentation perfectly for the event. She made it so easy for City Libraries to look good. Thanks for your assistance in finding excellent speakers to make this event so successful.
Brian was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. Students loved their experience and produced some great work.
David Hallett challenged many of our students' personal views of poetry and politics. His performances allowed students to appreciate the malleability of poetry, highlighting the fact it is far more than words on a page.
