The Year 5 and 6 students who participated in the collaborative workshop were overjoyed at their results. Overall, Kim was an outstanding visitor to our school, with great skill, content, and ability to manage large groups of students effortlessly. Students and staff alike were very impressed!
Darren was a very engaging and gracious author to present to our students during Book Week. He presented to 3 different year groups and was entertaining and willing to answer any of the boys' questions. I would have no hesitation in asking him to the school to present again. He was great fun.
Jackie more than met all our expectations. She was very warmly received by the students. She was very entertaining and empowered many of them to read. The students are still talking about her visit. We would certainly recommend Jackie to visit other schools.
The LORDS community were absolutely delighted to have Charlotte visit our primary school as a guest author. From the moment she arrived, her warmth and knowledge radiated, creating an inviting and engaging atmosphere for both students and staff. Being incredibly approachable, Charlotte instantly put our students at ease, encouraging them to ask questions and share their own thoughts and ideas.
Taryn’s creative writing sessions with Toowoomba Region Libraries were fantastic. Taryn has great content to share on the entire process of creative writing, editing and publishing which she presents in an easy and conversational style.
Kyle's visit was informative and entertaining. He had a great connection to the students and presented his material in a humorous way. He was punctual and kept to timeframes. I would definitely recommend him to others.
