Nikki Rogers captivated our students during Library Day! They responded enthusiastically to her engaging presentation and thoroughly enjoyed exploring her books. She provided wonderful insights into her writing and illustration techniques, inspiring creativity at every turn. A highlight of the session was the drawing activity, where students had the chance to design their own chickens and imagine unique worlds for them. It was fascinating to see the journey from an initial idea to a published an [...]

Some of the creations achieved through Duncan’s guidance and inspiration were phenomenal

Andrew is so passionate, enthusiastic and dynamic and his presentations are very engaging, inspiring and educational. He maintained interest for a full hour with our young children 3-5 years brilliantly. The children love his books and respond to his enthusiasm. There is so much to learn, explore and discover in them.

o Zewlan was a wonderful emcee for my book launch. She's a warm, engaging speaker, and manages an audience with ease. I can highly recommend her as a speaker. ~ Charlotte Barkla, Author

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.

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 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!

Amazing! Sophie was fantastic and so great online for our digital events. High energy and great with children of diverse ages.

Vacen presented a series of engaging workshops for our students in years 4, 5 and 6 at our 2020 School Book Week. It was wonderful how she catered her program around “writing focus” requests from teachers. The children thoroughly enjoyed not only the writing activity but also the chance to learn about “World Building” in Fantasy writing and character development. Vacen was prepared, professional and it was a pleasure hosting her here at Our Lady of Mt Carmel.

The Narrative Workshops in Year 3/4 conducted by Chrissy Byers were extremely rewarding for students. They were well run and made efficient use of time. The visual prompts used were engaging and made it possible for the students to clearly structure a narrative into beginning, middle and end. To make the writing more interesting and individual, Chrissy endorsed the use of a Hook Question. Most importantly, over the weeks, there was a clear improvement in the outcomes of the children's writin [...]
