It was great to have Charlie presenting at our Junior High event. Students were captivated by his presentations incorporating hip hop and Shakespeare. What a dynamic way to show students why studying Shakespeare is still important and to highlight Shakespeare’s themes, language, rhyme, and rhythm. Thanks for also tying it into the student’s current reading of Susan Coopers novel King of Shadows. It was a memorable and exciting day.

Book Week 2012 was a great success here at St Augustine's. Kim Toft was wonderful again!!! Thank you Helen once again for helping me with great author choices.

Sandie is the best! She's super efficient and friendly.

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.

Jonathan was very down to earth, friendly and engaging. He adjusted his presentation to suit the cohort his was interacting with in each session. (High school, middle school & juniors) And happily linked his stories to the curriculum for each sector.

Thank you for recommending Kyle for this year’s Literature Festival Day. It was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback from students and teachers.

Brett Lee was very professional and did a great job presenting. The audience got a lot out of the presentation and have also requested for Brett Lee to present to the students.

Pip was Fantastic. She easily adapted to the different groups. Children were really comfortable with her.
