Nicky Johnson presented to our Prep to Year 3 students as part of our Book Week celebrations. Her warmth, creativity, and passion for storytelling truly inspired our young readers, writers, and illustrators. Students were captivated by Nicky’s engaging sessions, which she skilfully tailored to suit each year level, making the experience meaningful and memorable for all.

Our visit from Cartoon Dave was extraordinary. The experience more than met our expectations. Dave was on time, zany and kept the children and adults thoroughly entertained for the duration of their sessions. He was very explicit about what he needed for the visit, without be demanding. I would thoroughly recommend Dave to other schools and especially small schools, such as ours.

Megan captivated her audience as she shared valuable insights into her writing process. Megan inspired our students to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through writing. She made her books come alive as she used excerpts to highlight her ideas. Our students (and teachers) loved her session.

Your presentation was fascinating and I thought the way you linked the story with the research process and family connection was perfect

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Our students were thoroughly engaged throughout Joel's energetic performance. He tailored his talk to meet our current speaking and listening student needs and fostered a love of reading. Thank you!

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.
