Victoria was very well organised and an engaging speaker. She ensured that her presentation took into consideration the upcoming assessment task for the students by using one of her stories as a framework.

You have done a fabulous job. The boys and I am certain that you will be responsible for the conversion of some of the boys from non-readers to keen readers and future writers. Copies of Moonshadow are flying out the library as I write. Once again, from Iona, a very sincere thank you for the wonderful author in residence week. I know that your presentations and workshops resonated with our students. Wishing you all the very best and hope to see you again soon.

The students and teachers were very impressed with Peter and should funds allow, we would like to have him back again next year.

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 [...]

The visit from Jenni, met the expectation of giving the children the experience of a storyteller. The children were very engaged, and she was very good at encouraging audience participation. I was able to observe two of her sessions, and found that each session was adjusted to the group of children at the time. She used different stories with the two groups and even had two of the children act out the main characters of the story. I think the sessions were very good, and could not suggest any i [...]

Tamsin's intervention was of very high quality. She explained very well where her inspiration to write came from. She got the students involved. She answered their questions.
