Last Monday we had the pleasure of hosting a fantastic writing workshop with author and writing teacher extraordinaire, Josh Donellan. Our students had the opportunity to delve into the craft of writing compelling characters and vivid settings. With engaging exercises and expert guidance, our students learned firsthand how to bring stories to life on the page. A huge thank you to Josh Donellan for sharing his passion and expertise with us.

Kids thought it was a fun and engaging workshop

Brian was outstanding. Our students thoroughly enjoyed his knowledge, guidance and sense of humour. Our budding writers did a fabulous job and thoroughly enjoyed the day! Thank you Brian

The students are still talking about it and we all went to work to develop interesting characters and settings in order to publish some interesting stories. I personally noticed an improvement in several students’ writing due to the details they included. This they remembered from you and I thank you.

As always, Sandie was extremely helpful in finding available authors to meet our needs and then providing follow-up support as needed. Many thanks and I look forward to our continued use of your service next year.

Paula’s presentation was greatly appreciated by participants, who found it very inspiring and useful.

Zanni presented three sessions, one for Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2. Each presentation was engaging for the students . Zanni used props and expressively read her stories. Where possible Zanni had students on stage with her doing different activities or improvisations.

Our student's at St Joseph's have been reading Corinne's books in for many years and were so excited for her visit. She did not disappoint, and I would highly recommend her to other organisations. She engaged the students by speaking about her writing and was open to questions from our students. Thank you so much Corinne, we cannot wait for you to visit again.

Gave the students a lot of terrific advice for writing. Worked well with the students.

Year 5 students and teachers gained so much from Michelle’s presentation. The teachers took many notes to enhance their poetry unit for next year.
