Chris was animated, he talked about his experiences as a young immigrant and challenges he faced. I sent him the Unit task sheet, and he explained points of view, settings, themes and characters. Chris was asked a question about AI, and he said that AI isn’t emotive and he talked about writing from the heart. I believe the students received valuable content that will assist them in their writing task.

During our Book Week celebrations this year we were delighted to have Serena Geddes spend time with our students from Kindergarten to Year 6. With the younger students (Kindy – Yr 2) she spoke with enthusiasm about the way her illustrations make it into books and entertained the students with her drawings making sure there was collaboration from the students as to what she drew. One of our students was chosen to help her as she read Samuel’s Kisses and he will certainly remember thi [...]

I have been dealing with Speakers Ink for nearly 10 years now and always find the staff to be very helpful and accommodating, particularly through the recent years. It may have taken 3 years but we finally got Tristan over the border!

We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop with Susy. She was very professional and great with the children. We had 2 classes of grade 1 children and their artwork all turned out amazing! She was really good at going step by step and teaching new art techniques. I would definitely book her again and I have told other teachers at the school how great she is!

We particularly appreciated the flexibility of their presentation format, which was e [...]

Very engaging and the students loved her.

Cristy Burne was an absolute delight to have at our school! Her visit fell during the perfect crossover of Book Week and Science Week, and she brought both worlds together with infectious enthusiasm, humour, and heart. From the moment she arrived, Cristy captivated our students and staff alike. Her presentations were the perfect blend of science, storytelling, and silliness — complete with live experiments, inspiring messages, and plenty of laughter. She spoke powerfully about creativity, resil [...]

“Really gave us an insight into her passion. Very commanding presence instantly captivating the audience.”

Thank you for performing for our students today. It was lovely to meet you. The students and teachers really enjoyed your storytelling. Thank you for your positive energy and obvious love of children.

I was very happy with Deborah Abela and James Roy’s presentations. They related well to all the students from the young grade sixers through to the senior year twelves. Students found them humorous and very engaging. I would definitely recommend them to any school.

Kerry is an educational pioneer, blending creativity with strategic insight. Her leadership has been instrumental in shaping professional development and curriculum innovation across schools.

Jonathan was wonderful! The student's were extremely engaged with his presentation and immensely enjoyed listening to him.
