Choose Your Own Adventure!
To tie in with the 2025 Book Week theme, ‘Book an Adventure’, Dave Lowe has adapted his popular ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ workshop, as a ‘presentation’-style 45- / 60-minute session for large groups of students, from Years 3 to 8. In this fun, highly-interactive session, Dave will share insights into ideas-generation and plotting, and give each student a story template, as well as all the tips and tricks they’ll need to make their own short ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style book that they can take home and try out on friends and family.

What people are saying
During Book Week our year 3-6 students had an inspiring visit from author Dave Lowe. Students and teachers were captivated by his stories and left with some great tips and ideas to use when writing their own stories! All the feedback from staff who attended was great and we would love to have him back at our school for another author visit.
Quick response time and happy to adapt to timetabling changes. Thank you for your prompt and flexible organisation
A very big thank you for organising a wonderful speaker, Jenni Cargill. Our students and teachers were enthralled. Her props and ability to keep her audience entertained was amazing. I would recommend Jenni to other schools.
Thanks for organizing the author talk yesterday. Our girls had a lovely time and left feeling quite inspired about writing. I really appreciated the opportunity to attend.
Some of the creations achieved through Duncan’s guidance and inspiration were phenomenal
Our expectations were met and exceeded. Everything ran smoothly and Donna was very flexible about fitting into our program. I would book Donna Dyson again and I would also recommend her to other schools / organisations.
Thank you for the day you spent at Chisholm. The kids all enjoyed their time with you and found your stories interesting and engaging. The feedback from teachers has also been very positive, especially in relation to your ability to relate to the students. The English HOD was interested in getting you back in the future!
