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.

Formerly I questioned my ability. Michelle's presentation clarified my thinking and I am excited.

We had Lisa speak to our year 4-6 students ... The sessions were much like her books – funny, engaging, quirky and with something for everyone. Lisa adapted each session beautifully to the age group, using her different stories to inspire writing activities and imaginative thinking. …the girls were captivated for the whole session.

After Kathmandu announced the acquisition of Rip Curl, Tim did a magnificent job bringing “The Rip Curl Story” to life at our Kathmandu management conference. He was inspiring, full of humour and very knowledgeable sharing the essence of Rip Curl and its founders. The entire management team – around 70 team members – had a great evening listening to Tim. We are even more excited about partnering up with an iconic brand like Rip Curl after Tim’s presentation.’

Dave was amazing! Each library we took him to was different but he adapted and created a wonderful programme in each place. We would love to have him visit again.

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

Tannya was generous with her time and flexible with her presentation. The children were engaged throughout the sessions and came away with a successful drawing. She used kid friendly language, her drawing instruction was simple and appropriately step by step, very interactive, her displays were great and she coped well with the vagaries of technology. She has a different illustrative style to most others which provides breadth of experience for our children. Sydney school, 2024

John recently presented at our "Launch into Life" Event for Year 6 students in Northern NSW. Below are some of the student comments: "We got to meet an author and it wasn't just us sharing our stories, he was sharing his stories too! It was just great fun!" "John's presentation taught me to chase after my dreams; you can do anything if you put your mind to it" "I found John Danalis very inspirational. He made be think about how everyone is different and that's OK."

Kerry Brown is fantastic and very inspirational. Everyone loved her presentations and it is a hard task keeping preps - year 3 entertained.

It was so lovely having you here. The girls really loved it and you had a wonderful disarming way with them. Thank you so much.
