Fantastic show, very engaging considering it is virtual. I sent him the names of the teachers – they were very surprised when they heard him comment. We were also able to tell him what different students were doing through the chat window. The students loved hearing their names and could not work out how he could see them! It was very easy to connect – just clicked on the link he sent and we were on.

Lach's enthusiasm and humour drew the students in right from the very beginning of the session. He connected with each student, asking their name and remembering it later as they asked questions. Lach treated the students professionally and as if they were his equals in this journey of character and story development, engaging with their ideas and using them to assist in the example he modelled throughout the session.

What an absolute joy it was to have Kat working at our school this week, as part of the May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust. Both students and teachers have been inspired with her passion for poetry and children’s literature. Kat conveyed how only a few select words on a page can be the makings of a great piece of poetry! How brilliant, is this sage advice for the reluctant writer! Kat’s lesson content and creativity will definitely help our students continue to shine like diamonds!

The girls were so interested hearing Gabrielle speak. She was engaging, interesting, and we all thought she was so, so talented. Was a treat for us to have her.

Our Year 2 Students thoroughly enjoyed watching Karen’s stories come to life, through their very engaging storytelling skills. The presentation was perfect for the year level.

I was very impressed with the way Speakers Ink worked so hard to ensure we had Speakers for our Book Week this year. After a last minute cancellation by who we had booked in, Sandie worked very hard to find someone who would do a great job and she chose very well for us. Thanks very much to Sandie and the team.

Entertaining, engaging and intellectually rigorous. Fabulous connection with young people.

Andy engaged really well with all the groups he led - each student was made to feel they were capable of building on their drawing skills - 'just keep practising' was Andy's cue words; along with 'don't use a rubber'!

Tash presented a very engaging session to our students which they loved. She discussed thought provoking questions and First Nations themes in an age appropriate manner.

Peter successfully 'reached' and entertained his audience, with a suitably fitting topic. Student,. parents and teachers informed me how much they enjoyed his speeches.

Thanks for last night’s Professional Development. It was the best writing PD I’ve ever been to! Beforehand I was thinking I would go lots of writing programs before I taught an older grade, but your PD was very comprehensive.
