What the students learned was phenomenal! As an added bonus, staff came away just as inspired as the students and feeling far more confident in their ability to teach and create poetry.

Thank you for your incredible presentations for our students. They were very well received by students and teachers alike. Every one of your books were gone from the library by the afternoon and taken home by the students.

Zachary Ashford tailored his presentation to a diverse and large cohort of students. His sessions were interactive, engaging and entertaining. Zach sought feedback constantly and communicated effectively throughout our visit. Would definately recommend!

WOW what an amazing show it was! The children were totally engaged and every child was able to participate in the show. It was fantastic to see that positivity and being happy with your self focused highly in the show. We can’t wait to have Mr Yipadee back at our Centre, the books are wonderful and children are thoroughly enjoying the CD’s.

I am very pleased to report that we had a wonderful experience with the 2 speakers that we booked. Both Peter (Carnavas) and Pat (Flynn) worked well together, engaged the students and when they broke into smaller year level groups coped really well and tailored the lessons to suit the students.

It’s rare to come across someone who is both a highly qualified scientist and a great communicator, so when we came across Charlotte Birkmanis, who has credibility and talent, it was a big win for us. I have had the pleasure of working with Charlotte, who has helped the Western Australian Marine Science Institution to make marine science more accessible to school students and the wider community. A professional presenter with expertise in a topic that interests everyone (sharks, apex predators a [...]

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rory H. Mather, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His insights and expertise into lyrical story writing and rhyme is amazing and the art of story and persistance is truly inspirational. Rory’s approach combines practicality with deep emotional intelligence, enabling students to unlock their potential and achieve their writing goals with a never give up approach. The strategies he offers are not only effective but also easy to implement, making a [...]

Thank you for recommending Julie for this year’s Literature Festival Day. It was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback from students and teachers. ‘Thank you Julie for such a great day. The girls and teachers thoroughly enjoyed your sessions, it was wonderful to hear them speak so positively about the tips and drafting skills you shared.’

Jan was great with the K-2 audience we booked her for. Lots of videos and visuals, plus they all love animals. We ran 45 minute sessions, which was about right with this age group. Lots of back up activities available on the website too so it worked really well.

Great organisation and communication

What an absolute ripper of a time we had with Phil...he was fantastic with the kids and all the teachers loved his presentation. He had the children enthralled, there were no behaviour problems as soon as the children got a bit loud, boisterous or over enthusiastic he calmed them down and got them back ontrack. His teaching background helps a lot in this respect and he had a good rapport with them and got them involved too. Phil is a great person to get along with, the staff here enjoyed his com [...]

It was really really good and I liked going through the photos. She took a really good photo and we all didn't know it was a fake! I enjoyed that she had a lot of description about how she made her three books come together. She told us about the prehistoric times and the characters. It was fun. Jo gave us tips for our writing and it was nice to know that new and different stuff.
