Great day spent considering not only how we as educators can we help our Stage 6 students improve their writing – but how we can integrate the teaching of skills into Stage 4 and 5 HSIE

Visual and written media was utilised to ensure that all types of learning was used. Lubna demonstrated great passion, energy and relatability to the skills and provided such useful strategies and ideas that can be used in class.
Sean KellyWyong Christian Community School
Lubna was amazing. Very passionate, knowledgeable and great at explaining content.
Jen SonterPittwater High School
I did some describe planners based on some sources, highlighting, the students were engaged, discussing and completing paragraphs which is unheard of with that class.
Aidan BurgessGlenwood High School
The content was excellent, rather than just giving theories it gave applicable methods of improving writing.  It gave me things that I will actually use in the classroom. It was the best writing PD I’ve been to.
Alexandra BodyET Australia Secondary College, Gosford
I couldn’t sing your praises any higher to my faculty, 4 of us have already been to your workshops and I think any future workshops we will all be fighting each other to attend.
Lauren O’BrienJamison High School, South Penrith
Presenter was amazing! We want to take her back to our school! Fantastic. Extremely practical. It stripped the way we’ve been teaching sources and writing to the core of what students are meant to include.

Very relevant and valuable as a history teacher and Head of Faculty

I thought the day was highly useful and provided me with a number of effective strategies that I can take back and use in my classroom.
Nichola LuttonMackillop College, Bathurst
It should be made mandatory for all History teachers or incorporated into tertiary training.  
The collegial discussions and sharing, the lightbulb moment about how to integrate syllabus outcomes – not just content, overall, the clarity of instruction and honest and genuine approach. 
In short, outstanding.
Peter NousisSt George Girls High School, Kogarah
GREAT! Really helpful and practical tips. Everyone should do this course.
