Speakers Ink were helpful, prompt with any responses to questions and provided all the information necessary for the author visits.
Carla delivered an engaging and dynamic presentation that resonated strongly with our students. She was highly motivated and personable, capturing student interest from the outset. Students were genuinely excited to meet her, and her energy and enthusiasm created a memorable and meaningful experience for all involved. Carla also thoughtfully addressed a few challenges that arose and handled them with professionalism, ensuring a smooth and well‑organised flow of events throughout. Thank you Carla [...]
Engaging for all students, empowering them to know that they can in fact write poetry. Teacher - "I hated having to teach poetry, but now I see the purpose of it in performance and how much fun can be had with it."
David's sessions with our college on Wednesday went really well and the kids had a great time. We will definitely get him back again next year.
'We always receive positive reviews from participants after Julie's training sessions. She is consistently organised, well-presented, professional, and engaging.
Insightful, professional and pleasant for jarjum. Very welcoming and easy to work with, and a great experience for all involved.
We had a lovely Literature Event yesterday. Barry Jonsberg was fantastic, all the sessions went smoothly and we have had great feedback from the staff and students. Barry’s sessions had the students laughing and applauding throughout. We are now thinking about next year and would love to have Barry back. We had a great time, thanks so much.
Jan Latta presented sessions for different aged audiences.Her presentations were highly engaging. Children were mesmerised by her videos and stories of travelling through Africa and Asia, living in a tent, interacting with and photographing endangered animals. Jan's books are filled with beautiful photographs of animals in their natural environment and describe their daily living and biological facts in simple terms and in a way that is easily accessible to young children. I highly recommend inv [...]
Just a quick note to let you know how much we as a school appreciated the workshops and author talk last week. The students got so much from the opportunity, and were so excited by having met you.
Sophie was brilliant, informative, tailored to meet what the kids were doing, exploring in class. The writers workshop was also great, kids got a lot out of it and are enthusiastic to write and have their work shared with others. Really enjoyable.
Deano Yipadee provided a thoroughly energetic, engaging and entertaining performance. Students enjoyed the combination of music with story telling and joined in readily. Teachers were impressed with student engagement for all the prep to year 6 classes.
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.
