What people are saying
Our students got so much out of your author in residence program. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us
Anisa engaged well with the students and they are still raving about her performance.
Last Friday, Year 1 students were treated to a very entertaining and informative session with Lisa Hollier and Tracey Roper. Their presentation was a visual feast of images and creativity. Every minute of the one hour session was effectively used and the students remained engaged and interested the whole time. Both Lisa and Tracey displayed good rapport with the students and were able to keep them interested with a variety of activities during their presentation. Tracey explained how she uses [...]
Andy had a well organised, engaging and interactive presentation. He shared some of his published books, talking about the process of getting a book to a published state. Andy also brought in his version of a 'writer's notebook', which tied in very well with our students' own launch of personal writer's notebooks. Andy was engaging and entertaining for our yr 3-6 students, with his sketching and involving them in doing their own 'two animal' sketch.
Isobelle was excellent. She was well prepared and engaging
What a joy Carla Salmon is! Her genuine delight at being able to share the love she has for her novel spills over into every aspect of her presentation. Students walked away brimming with ideas for character, setting and story. Carla’s passion is contagious! My highest recommendation comes with all the exclamation points!!
The Grade 9 students greatly enjoyed Darren’s book talk; they were engaged and really enjoyed that he was funny. They were spellbound. Also, his leaving a lot of time for questions about writing and inspiration was excellent.
Absolutely brilliant! James was entertaining, inspirational and appealed to all levels from Kindy through to Year 6 and the staff! Highly recommend James!
The students thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and were enthralled by your caricatures. We have had parents visit us to say that it was all the dinner conversation rotated around that evening as the students were so captured by your visit. I thank you once again for your time, effort and enthusiasm in your presentation.
It was lovely to meet a generous, thoughtful person who cares about reading and the impact it has on young readers.
Easy to find and book speakers. Much easier than contacting authors individually as many do not answer anyway.
The authors were engaging and interesting and very well rehearsed.
Madonna focused on the Year 10’s current assessment task of writing a feature article using Ahn Do’s autobiography, 'The Happiest Refugee', as a springboard. Her passion for researching a topic and finding an engaging angle was clearly evident. Her presentation was very informative, giving students practical tips and ideas for their own writing.
