Thanks so much Vicki for your presentations to the year 9s, especially your patience with the kids! They really enjoyed your talk. Thanks again.

Annie came a long way to speak to a LOT of children. She was delightful, just like her books, and the children were engaged and responsive. Annie went to the trouble of bringing lots of her original illustrations and our students were fascinated to observe her serenely painting a watercolour illustration as she answered their questions.

Simon was great…. He manipulated his presentations to the age level and composition of the audience and handled both the 130 students presentation and the 50 students equally well. Would definitely get Simon back next year again if he’s available.

As part of our Imaginative Writing unit, we interviewed Australian children’s author, Jess Galatola about her relevant and timely children’s book, ‘Some Families Change’. This book was a wonderful read and a totally engaging juncture for our students as it brought the curriculum to life. Jess provided so many purposeful and practical strategies to our young and aspiring writers.

Each presentation had every student engaged. She really knew how to present to the children. The feedback from parents was fantastic. The children had gone home and told their parents how fantastic the presentation was. Great messages for the students about the writing process.

Sandie was very prompt in her communications. She quickly organised for speakers when contacted and ensured contact between the author and school were made. It allowed the author visits to run very smoothly.

Fantastic connection to the students, very easy going and such a humble man.

There was this incredible energy throughout the school and all these wonderful people helped create the oeuvre of joy and creativity in the kids. We were all touched by their presence and skill and collectively, as a community, we felt honour and privilege. All the feedb [...]

Thank you so much for coming in today and sharing your wonderful book with our class. The children were truly engaged throughout the session. They listened with excitement, asked thoughtful questions, and were inspired by hearing directly from an author. It was such a special experience for them, and we are so grateful for the time and effort you put into making it memorable. Thanks again!

It was lovely to have Alison here sharing her stories and magic. The students really had a fabulous time.
