Phil was engaging for the children and taught them about the importance of reading, and the writing process. They liked him and listened to him and have been more engaged in their reading and writing since. Phil is an excellent speaker, as well as an interesting and agreeable personality, that I would highly recommend to other primary schools.

Phil created a lovely rapport with our students and teachers. He shared some great writing tips and reminded our students that inspiration exists everywhere!

Marymount Primary School - August 2022

Phil gave a great virtual presentation. He altered his content and delivery from Prep to year 2 really well.

It was with pleasure that we welcomed Phil through the Virtual Author Visit last week. The process was successful and Phil had the children eating out of his hands! He answered many questions and spoke passionately about his writing. The kids were engaged and enthused. Thank you so much for the opportunity. We look forward to negotiating Phil's presence in person at our 2020 Writers Festival.

St Mary's Primary School - October 2019

Thank you for organising Phil Kettle for us. He was another success story and one of his strengths is that he is an assured writer and the children appreciated that it is his real occupation and has been for years. His books are well known to our students. Phil was prepared to be easy going and also fitted in a visit to a year 5 class which was not on his program. I really appreciate this flexibility.
