Julie was popular and engaging across all our primary and high school classes. At our high school she managed an auditorium session with all our middle school students and encouraged contribution and discussion. The students enjoyed the session and it had a follow on effect in the library, with all her books going on loan and being in demand.

Communication was very clear and exceeded our expectations.

Kellie was well prepared and engaging during her storytime sessions. She catered well to the audience ages and we enjoyed hearing her back story as well.

Tracey and Lisa were great. They certainly met expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Phil was engaging for the children and taught them about the importance of reading, and the writing process. They liked him and listened to him and have been more engaged in their reading and writing since. Phil is an excellent speaker, as well as an interesting and agreeable personality, that I would highly recommend to other primary schools.

Charlie was engaging with the students. It was incredible that within a 1 hour time slot, he was able to build enough rapport that they felt confident presenting their creative pieces to an audience. All of the students had incredibly positive feedback to share, the only negative was that the sessions weren’t longer!

Chris was one of the absolutely superlative presenters at our literature carnival this year. As a group, they expanded the students munitions of creativity and were very well received by all staff. Their presentations were highly engaging as they were diverse. Students had a full immersion into the world of the writer, storyteller and illustrator. I personally wish to express my gratitude to their unbounding energy and galvanising a week of learning and fun into the minds of our students and tea [...]

Cameron worked well with each year level. His workshops were fun and engaging and age level appropriate. The students really enjoyed their time with him.

Michelle was extremely accommodating and had developed a presentation to match the information provided by our school. Very personized engaging and age appropriate. The students thoroughly enjoyed having Fairy Belle use her beautiful fairy wings to fly to our school for a visit and weave her storytelling magic!

Mary’s visit was such a wonderful part of our ASH workshop! She read her books, shared her experience as an author, celebrated the children’s ideas, kept them focused and even gave the children craft activities to take home. The kids were completely engaged and loved every moment. We’re so grateful to Mary for inspiring our young creators!

Darren was very friendly to staff and students. He was more than willing to give extra time to speak to the students in a one on one environment. He was very engaging and got lots of audience participation with a game. Would definitely use Dave again as a speaker at our college.

Extremely useful. I appreciate the depth of content and links. I am a great advocate for picture books in my teaching and now preparing Inquiry Learning packages connected to picture books for our school. My list has just grown!
