STORY SQUAD
PROGRAMS

Immersive school incursions designed for impact and engagement

We run in person incursions ranging from 60-90 mins, to half or even full day, to fit in with your school schedule. Designed to immerse and inspire, our programs can be tailored to your students’ learning goals, curriculum focus or a chosen theme. We can also create bespoke workshops to suit your school and classroom objectives.

Our sessions are highly interactive, discussion-rich and play-based to fully engage students in the storytelling process. Through guided conversation, drama and role-play, collaboration, structured writing and creative thinking activities we bring imaginations to life.

All workshops are curriculum-aligned and include classroom-ready follow-up activities enabling teachers to reinforce key concepts, extend learning beyond the incursion and embed skills across future writing tasks.

What Schools Are Saying

Tiffany did an incredible job running our year 4 NAPLAN workshop. She has a beautiful manner with all students which meant every student benefitted from her workshop. All students were highly engaged in the activities, as they were hands on and creative. We would recommend Tiffany to all schools looking to open students' minds to writing in the lead up to NAPLAN.

Tiffany presented a fantastic writing workshop for my year 2 students. The activities were engaging and relevant to what we have been learning. Students were encouraged to contribute to the lesson and participate in a variety of learning experiences.

Thank you so much to Emily for everything she did over the 2 story squad sessions with our year K classes. In both the story elements and story structure workshops the students were so engaged and absolutely loved the activities that were set up for them. The activities were a perfect tie in for our fairy tales unit so thank you!

Both students and teachers absolutely loved the Potion Poetry workshops. Very engaging and the Story Squad team have such great energy. Students produced amazing pieces of poetry and talked about their work with pride. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing you at Bronte next year.
