Story Squad delivers curriculum-aligned creative writing and storytelling incursions for primary schools (K–6). Our programs are designed to develop confident communicators, creative thinkers and engaged learners by explicitly teaching storytelling, creative writing and oral language skills alongside broader capabilities such as creative problem solving, empathy, resilience and self-expression. Workshops support both academic outcomes and student wellbeing through imaginative, student-centred learning. We don’t just teach writing – we nurture future-ready thinkers and storytellers.
Absolutely. All Story Squad incursions are curriculum-aligned and developed in collaboration with experienced educators and creative experts. Our workshops support key English outcomes, including listening, speaking, responding to texts, imaginative thinking, and narrative structure. They also support the development of key General Capabilities and student wellbeing across primary years. Whether it’s preparing Stage 2 students for NAPLAN or helping Stage 3 students transition to high school, our workshops are designed to complement what they are learning in the classroom. Curriculum links and outcomes are available upon request.
We offer immersive incursions for years K–6. Each program is carefully designed to suit the developmental needs, learning goals and energy levels of the stage, from playful, movement-rich storytelling for our youngest learners to leadership, wellbeing and public speaking workshops for Years 5–6.
