What people are saying
The feedback from the students was amazing. They all seemed to really enjoy listening to you talk and the Crazy Relief Teacher series has been flying off our shelves this term. We will definitely be asking you to come back and visit again.
It’s may sound like a cliché-but it’s a true one- Crystal got even reluctant writers to complete a story. For at least one student this may be the first time that he has done this!
Andy had a well organised, engaging and interactive presentation. He shared some of his published books, talking about the process of getting a book to a published state. Andy also brought in his version of a 'writer's notebook', which tied in very well with our students' own launch of personal writer's notebooks. Andy was engaging and entertaining for our yr 3-6 students, with his sketching and involving them in doing their own 'two animal' sketch.
Lachlann delivered a highly engaging book week activity. He talked to the students about the characters in his book called 'Big Trouble'. He made the book come to life, with drawings and storytelling moments. He is a quality entertainer, which meant that he had all students focused and hanging off each word he said. I like that he had an activity for the students to complete. We have never looked at a chair the same! Thank you! From Grade One
In 2021 Yarrawonga College P-12 was lucky enough to have Dee White work with all of our Prep to Year 8 students during her 4 week residency. Dee planned and presented engaging lessons that catered for each year level and she provided a variety of resources to support all of our student writers. Dee helped all students see the value of their unique ideas and she was able to inspire even our most reluctant writers to create stories they were proud of. Dee ran extension workshops to develop the ski [...]
Absolutely amazing. Most inspiring and moving speaker I have ever seen.
The children were excited to be part of the interactive puppet show, whilst our secondary students made real life connections to the story. A fantastic, age appropriate experience
The agency was easy to deal with and always responded to emails in a timely manner. They were very helpful when I was looking for an author because they were able to tell me who the best person to meet the needs of our school would be.
I think Kat Apel may be our Book Week treasure. The boys love you! Teachers, students and parents have loved hearing you talk about your books and your family, and all the teachers have been impressed with your style and your activities.
Kerry was a great speaker and more than met our expectations. Would definitely recommend her to others.
Gabrielle has visited our school for the past three years and run her Chinese watercolour painting session with our year 7s. This complements the text that they study at this year level, Chinese Cinderella. Gabrielle is a true professional with a wonderful instructional manner. She incorporates her Chinese heritage into the workshops beautifully and has the students spellbound. The lovely thing about her sessions is that being able to produce a credible Chinese watercolour at the end of the ses [...]
There is nothing more rewarding for a Principal than to hear children's laughter and singing echoing throughout their school and having Mr Yipadee in entertaining and educating the children is a guarantee of this. My children (and staff!) never fail to enjoy one of Mr Yipadee's shows and I cannot recommend him highly enough to provide age-appropriate, good hearted, feel good energetic fun - something every child deserves to experience regularly at school
