Parent’s feedback on The Writing Workshop live online
I just wanted to say thank you for the course that my daughter has completed over the past two days. She’s had lots of fun and has been very engaged. My son did a course with you out at Homebush a few years ago which he really enjoyed, and it seems like you’ve done just as great a job in the online world. Even the presentation at the end went smoothly! Thank you for adapting to this crazy new world so the kids still had something fun and stimulating to engage with over the holidays.
Thanks again for today's fantastic workshop! F. really enjoyed it and would like to continue.
Your energy and enthusiasm were infectious and extremely engaging.
She’s already looking forward to next week’s sessions and I will be enrolling her in your term classes as well. We’ve now had experience with a variety of online classes but yours has been by far the best, thanks I’m sure to a lot of behind the scenes preparation.L. is absolutely loving it and wants to do it every week! Not sure what you are doing, but am so happy to see him excited about writing. Thank you!
Creative approach, learning to last a lifetime
The Writing Workshop was founded by award-winning author Bernard Cohen in 2006. Since then we've written with over 100,000 participants – from five year-olds to school-leavers – and read aloud over half a million pieces of imaginative writing. Our participants have won national writing prizes, been included in major anthologies, broadcast on radio, earned scholarships and selective school places, gained the confidence to read in public, learned fascinating techniques, broken through writing blocks, invented incredible characters and scenarios and had a lot of fun.
"At the beginning of the term kids always wants to do lots of out-of-school activities, however this is the only one which independently motivates her every week" - Year 2 Parent.
