It was brilliant - the kids were captivated.

Peter's workshop was, without a doubt, the highlight of our library year! We already have plans to invite Peter back for a follow-up workshop in the near future. I also wanted to thank you for making Peter available to schools through Speakers Ink.

Thanks for organizing the author talk yesterday. Our girls had a lovely time and left feeling quite inspired about writing. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend.

I can always rely on Speakers Ink to do all the behind the scenes organisation in terms of securing a speaker.

We just had Anne E Stewart visit for our grade 3s and 4s at Eltham North Primary School. She was absolutely fantastic! The children and staff alike were mesmerised by her story telling and richness of stories. Please pass on our greatest thanks to her for such an inspiring and wonderful gift.

Inspirational, extremely open to students questions, flexible to school routine, excellent speaker.

Gabriel passed on his vast knowledge and professional experience to students through interactive activities that focused on the process of designing a character, the tools in creating a page spread, portraying the emotional body language of characters and training the eye in composition. Gabriel’s presentation methods were engaging, motivational and inspirational.

...Kirsty Eagar was great. The girls, especially in year 11, really enjoyed listening to her. I would definitely recommend her as an inspirational speaker especially for students year 10 and above.

Susy was fantastic!! Her talk / workshop was great and the kids really enjoyed it. She was really enthusiastic, easy-going, relaxed and fun and I would certainly recommend her to any school. In fact, I'd like to have a "Festival of Favourites" and she'd be on the top of my list to get back again.

Jenny Wang helped us kick off a week long celebration of learning as part of Catholic Week activities at Jubilee Primary. With Jenny's expertise, all students successfully created their own manga characters, inspiring some students to submit art work for the school's mini Art Show. Jenny's own passion for using animation to spread positive community messages could be a great starter for students building their own community message.

Jenni Cargill is an enchanting storyteller who shares stories from around the world with energy, style and verve. Jenni's capable manner ensures children K-6 are enthralled with her performance. She sprinkles music, wonderful acting and different voices through her performances. Highly entertaining and worthwhile
