What people are saying
Really Fantastic. Talked about stress, anxiety, lots of different health issues that effect impacting young people. Fantastic. Great sense of humour and really engaging with young people.
“Tiff is an engaging and creative educator and a great collaborator, I would highly recommend her work”
Roland Harvey is a wonderful author/illustrator and interpreter of many of our favourite Australian fictional and historical stories. Roland engaged well with all our primary students who thoroughly enjoyed hearing about all his books. They enjoyed his masterclass on how to draw and his use of watercolour to illustrate stories. Excellent.
Louise was a wonderful visitor. The kids were engaged as she talked about her writing, she read one of her books, and they brainstormed a new story that they could then use in class to write their own. She gave great insight into her life as a writer, and as the kids were all familiar with her books, made it much more real to them.
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.
Nadia Sunde is the most intuitive performer / storyteller / singer that I have had the pleasure to meet. The kid’s shrieks of laughter were a delight to me and the teachers, and all done with a sock and a teapot! She bonded with the kids and the staff. Nadia, Houdini like, got a child who does not speak, to become a part of the storytelling. His teacher and I couldn't believe what we were seeing. Another child, who I've only seen twice in the library this year because of medical issues, wa [...]
Richard was well versed in the Literature syllabus and QCAA requirements and as a result, he tailored his presentation to be very practical in nature. Students were inspired by his approach to writing fiction and he unpacked extracts to reveal the construction of the writer's voice. Richard was an engaging presenter and he gently challenged our students in the writing workshop to refine their creative writing ideas.
Astred's presentation was excellent- content was beautifully presented and thorough. Everyone commented on the high standard and learnt some great things from Astred
Absolutely brilliant! James was entertaining, inspirational and appealed to all levels from Kindy through to Year 6 and the staff! Highly recommend James!
It was our pleasure to host former Heatley SS students and now published author/illustrators Haydn and Damien Crespan in our school library this week. Haydn and Damien read their book "The Adventures of Triz the Babysitter" to each of our year three year 1 classes. They also spoke about their creative processes in terms of writing the story and matching the illustrations to the text. They brought along dinosaur props for the students to interact with - one of which was an original model of Triz [...]
In our student feedback at the end of this semester many of our students made a particular point of mentioning David's seminar as one of the high points of their study in this unit.
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!
We have been using Speakers Ink for a number of years and will continue to use the service. As always the service is user friendly, reliable and provides a wide range of authors.
Brian has just finished his presentations. Very successful. Praise all round. The kids LOVED him. Many thanks for organising the booking.
