SCHOOL VISIT FEEDBACK
‘I have had the best day with an author today! Your recommendation proved well-founded. Simon was utterly charismatic and had all the children eating from the palm of his hand. He was a fantastic success. The children were mesmerised and I know I am going to be plagued with requests for his books from the library. I also know I’m going to have to order multiple copies of them asap to satisfy their appetites. Thank you very much for a rewarding experience which has proved to be a highlight of our very early Book Week celebrations. Thanks again on behalf of myself and some very happy clients.’
St Columba’s, Wilston, June 2010
‘The dust has just settled on our two days with Simon Higgins. I don’t think we’ve ever had a more positive experience. Both students and teachers felt privileged and blessed to experience such a warm, giving and unique person. Thank you for the opportunity to have Simon here.’
St. Teresa’s Catholic College
‘Just to say what a wonderful speaker and entertainer (not to mention author!) Simon Higgins is. The boys were fascinated and hung on his every word. We enjoyed his visit very much indeed and I hope to be able to have him back here at BBC next year.’
Brisbane Boy’s College
‘I would once again like to extend my warmest thanks for your visit on Friday. The feedback we have received from students has been tremendous. You are not only a talented author but a respected and talented mentor.’
St. Andrews Lutheran College, February 2009
