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
Aleesah was marvellous. We did not have a data projector on the first day and she happily adjusted to suit. She came across as competent, friendly and approachable. The students were individually supported well by her and inspired by her experiences and stories.
Yvonne was fantastic and we have had great feedback from the staff and students.
Thank you so much for your collaboration in organising the presenters for our literature carnival. This entire week has been an outstanding success. Thanks to Lisa, who has been instrumental in the delivery of the workshops. There was this incredible energy throughout the school and all these wonderful people helped create the oeuvre of joy and creativity in the kids. We were all touched by their presence and skill and collectively, as a community, we felt honour and privilege. All the feedback [...]
Lian was very engaging and had a variety of different aspects in her presentation. The students learnt a lot about the process of writing a picture book and particularly enjoyed building a story together.
Thank you for recommending Jackie for this year’s Literature Festival Day. It was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback from students and teachers. Thank you so much for the wonderful morning I spent listening to you address our year 7s and 8s at St Aidan’s recently. Thank you, especially, for treating them as young women with developing minds of their own rather than as children. They very much enjoyed the experience and, as their history teacher, I thank you for fanni [...]
Benjamin Gilmour is a very engaging speaker with a wealth of personal experience and wonderful anecdotes. Given the breadth of his creativity in writing as well as film, no student leaves his talks without being touched in some way.
We had Matthew come for the first time this year to speak to our Year 12s. He was really inspiring and we saw some beautiful responses in terms of assessment from our students. I hope he can come again.
My Kindergarten children love to meet all different people in all different jobs and roles, so they were beyond excited to have a real life author coming to Kindy to share their book. Jess had such a wonderful presence with the group and was so engaging with each and every child. The activities she had planned were perfect for our age group and resulted in a lot of laughter and squeals of fun! The children were so proud to share their work and the illustrations they created, and some have even b [...]
Mark's visit met and exceeded our expectations. This is the second time Mark has visited. It was great for the kids to have that prior relationship. They loved the sessions! We are in the process of booking a 3rd visit for Term 4 - thank you so much!
