Feedback from school visits
From the teachers...
| I wanted to let you know what an
impact your visit had on the children at our school. We sold out the
entire stock of your books from Allen and Unwin on the day following your
talk and probably could have sold more. I currently have a reserve list
that lasts to the end of the year for Runestone and many of the children
are busy writing and decoding runes. Thank you for giving the children
such a positive and memorable experience. Karoo Primary School VIC Just a quick email to thank you for your visit to Somerville Rise Primary School last week. The students and staff were much appreciative of your efforts and walked away from their session with you inspired and enthusiastic about literacy. Thank-you again for your wonderful presentation. Somerville Rise Primary School VIC Your work with the students was fabulous. All my 10 copies of Runestone went out the door before lunch. Annandale Nth PS NSW Thank you for your great interaction with the kids. They are still talking about it! And I didn't even get to finish reading your new book because I have been pressured into putting it back in the library so the kids can borrow it! St Luke's Grammar School NSW The girls have been very much enjoying reading their copies of Night of the Fifth Moon. Thankyou very much for your exciting, thought provoking and so thoroughly planned presentation. Camberwell Girls’ Grammar School, VIC The children really enjoyed having you here...you've inspired them as writers!!! St Joseph’s Malvern, VIC The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to you speak. You fully engaged then in the process of writing, inspiring them to read your book and to try some of your writing tips. It was extremely worthwhile for the children to listen to you. Thank you very much. King David School VIC |
