Taylor was incredible with the students! I am blown away with his passion and enthusiasm.

Gregg was just amazing! All the students and teachers absolutely loved their sessions. He was engaging, funny his inclusion of our local Aboriginal language was amazing! His kindness towards all the kids was really appreciated. The best author visit we have ever had!

We had a wonderful visit with Kim. She is an enthusiastic, energetic and entertaining presenter. The students responded beautifully to Kim. They loved her stories, were entranced while she showed them how she painted on silk and enjoyed ‘The 12 Underwater Days of Christmas’. Our library spaces were so colourful and beautiful with all her paintings displayed. She was very friendly and easy to work with and I will certainly have her visit again in the future.

Cath’s passion for writing is so infectious – certainly some of the best feedback we’ve had on a speaker.

His simple way of engaging the boys was a breath of creative fresh air! I am sure his insights and abilities will be remembered and applied as the boys seek their own ways of expressing themselves.

Brett kept the boys engaged for the entire hour with lots of positive comments and thank yous from them. The parent presentation was also well received.

The workshop was engaging and the boys were immediately hands-on.

Easy to book and great communication

Stephany Steggall is an eclectic researcher and author. I have personally recommended her as a potential Colin Roderick lecturer to the Foundation for Australian Literary studies at James Cook University. During the memorable year we worked together at an international school in Ethiopia, Stephany inspired her public speaking students to great success.

An author, a bear and a pyjama parade, oh my! The Claremont Community Hub & Library hosted Sharon during Book Week 2021. The children [and parents] both watched on as she brought her heart-warming and funny book “Bedtime Daddy” alive. Sharon was a skillful storyteller who clearly knows how to engage with her audience. Of course, a book about bedtime meant we got to wear our pjs to work… Best day ever!

We were fortunate to have Gwyneth and Megan present to our students here at All Saints as part of our biannual Livewire Festival this year. The ladies presented information about their books The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse, in particular the Queensland story. Their presentations were engaging and interesting. They really inspired students to reflect and write about their own travels. This impact continued throughout the semester. We would certainly welcome them back to our school.

Presenter was very engaging and charismatic. Children were inspired. Even children who hate art were enthusiastic to be involved. Story planning content was very beneficial to engage children in writing. Fantastic work! Excellent.

We have now booked Prue Mason for the past 4 years and she always meets our expectations. When students have read and analysed one or two of her novels and can then ask questions of the author face to face, it is very special. Her workshop makes the reading relevant but also stimulates in the children an interest to write for fun. We shall book Prue for next year and would encourage other schools to do so as well.

Trevor was very good for our needs. We really appreciated his down-to-earth approach.
