Sarah's whole school performance and workshop sessions were so incredibly engaging and captivating. She was able to retain the attention of all students from Kindergarten to Year 6! Sarah's presentation was fun, exciting and very humorous. She has left our students incredibly inspired, thank you Sarah!

R.A. Spratt captivated our Year 4, 5 and 6 boys as part of her tour. We were lucky enough to secure her this year as part of our Book Week and she didn't disappoint. She shared valuable insights into her writing process, read excerpts of her latest book, 'Hamlet is Not Ok' and interacted with our young audience with enthusiasm keeping them entertained the full hour! I recommend this speaker to any primary school.

Zena’s workshops and presentations were thoroughly engaging. Zena worked with groups with a range of abilities – all came away feeling empowered and keen to put their new skills into action.

Sandhya Parappukkaran’s session was focused on brainstorming ideas for writing topics. The students left the session truly inspired, begging to continue with their ideas when we returned to class. We have since been able to use these techniques in the classroom. This was an excellent session where the students learnt great skills, including incorporating their own cultures or special memories into their writing.

Thanks - easy to work with, and great suggestions of speakers that might suit us.

Having Annaleise visit as part of our school’s lead-up to Book Week and our culminating One School One Book event was a real highlight for our students. Her author talk, ‘Fairytales – Weird, Wonderful, Wild’, took students on a fascinating journey through the origins of fairy tales and the Brothers Grimm. A dramatic reading from her book had the students laughing and completely engaged, and they were thrilled to ask their own questions about her books and writing process. Teachers found the sess [...]

Krista interacted keenly with all year levels from Prep to Year 6 and the content of her talks was engaging. Would recommend her to others and definitely book her again to present at our College.

Jane Smith’s visit was very educational and informative. It made students want to learn more about characters in her books and read her books.

Liz was very enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. She engaged the children very well and they all enjoyed the session immensely. We received nothing but positive feedback from parents, wanting to know more about Liz and her work.

We had Richard Newsome deliver a keynote address at our Literature Breakfast and he also spoke to Years 5,6 and 7. He was an excellent speaker and I would highly recommend him to other schools. I sent Richard a brief and he was able to construct his content around these ideas. He was very professional and most importantly very engaging with both adults and children.

Having Kim come to our centre for her art workshops has been an amazing experience. Even children who usually have no interest in art or being inside found a lot of excitement and passion as Kim arrived each day. Her expertise really shines through as she explains often complex art concepts in a way our 4 and 5-year-olds understood. Each lesson builds on from the previous one, helping children not only understand art a little better but also shapes, colours, and other academic aspects. We foun [...]

Phillip engaged the students with his humour and personal perspectives on writing. The olfactory imagery activity was fruitful and he provided incisive and constructive feedback on student pieces., heightening their awareness of the writing process. He spoke purposefully about creating characters with ambition and motivation.

Excellent! Great class. Instructions how to write a story were so easy to follow for young children.

Philip Wilcox was highly motivating. The students responded well and created excellent poems. The showcase was well attended and exciting. Phil was very generous with his time.
