Engaging for all students, empowering them to know that they can in fact write poetry. Teacher - "I hated having to teach poetry, but now I see the purpose of it in performance and how much fun can be had with it."

Our Junior students had an exciting opportunity to meet Pip Harry, who is an award-winning Australian author, copywriter and journalist. Pip shared insights into her writing journey and the inspiration behind her much loved books, including The Inside Dog and Over or Under? In addition to attending these engaging sessions with Pip, some students also completed related activities in class, exploring themes from Pip's stories. Pip's visit was a wonderful celebration of literature and storytelling [...]

So wonderful. Really appreciated her insight. Positive feedback from all staff and students involved.

I have been very lucky to have Lorraine come to 6 of my little regional schools to take poetry workshops. As a mobile library teacher my role is to teach students the many wonders of literature and hopefully as a consequence instil a love of reading. Lorraine has been a wonderful addition to my program. Lorraine comes with a lifetime of knowledge and several bags of resources! She shares her own wonderful work with classes and has a myriad of simple, achievable poetry techniques to inspire the [...]

Cristy Burne was an absolute delight to have at our school! Her visit fell during the perfect crossover of Book Week and Science Week, and she brought both worlds together with infectious enthusiasm, humour, and heart. From the moment she arrived, Cristy captivated our students and staff alike. Her presentations were the perfect blend of science, storytelling, and silliness — complete with live experiments, inspiring messages, and plenty of laughter. She spoke powerfully about creativity, resil [...]

She has such a unique job and shared the design process behind book covers and illustrations in a way that really captured our students’ imaginations. Their feedback said it all, with one student writing “It was inspiring and beautiful” and another saying “I enjoyed the fun way that she shared the information.” We found her warm, engaging and genuinely passionate, which made the session memorable for our students and tea [...]

Michael Salmon’s session today was absolutely awesome – a very entertaining and engaging online session! The children drew some wonderful dinosaurs and Michael kept them engaged and interested throughout the session and he was very inspiring and encouraging to all the attendees, it was really wonderful!

Jonathan was wonderful! The student's were extremely engaged with his presentation and immensely enjoyed listening to him.

Great communication, was able to adapt with our date changes and was able to make great suggestions for possible speakers.

Mark presented to our Lower Primary students and his sessions were brilliant, from start to finish. Each presentation was tailored perfectly to the age group, full of rhyming fun, songs and hitting many important literacy targets along the way. The teachers were thrilled and the children left wanting to devour his books. I would highly recommend Mark to other schools.

“Tiff is an engaging and creative educator and a great collaborator, I would highly recommend her work”
