"Cameron, I am an LSA and work with a student (male 10 yrs old). He has found connecting with text impossible. When you came to Macquarie Primary School and talked to the 3/4 group he was so excited that he sat on the floor for your entire hour, which was HUGE! He had decided on a question two days before and when you pointed at him and he got to ask, "Why do you have fairy tales in your stories?" And you answered him with a full explanation he sat up straighter, again, HUGE! He talked about it for most of the next day."

My K-2 class loved the workshop with Cameron and love the Stroogle books. Every time I get them out to read I hear their enthusiasm. My daughter, in Year 6, went to the extension workshop with Cameron. She has a real passion for writing and wants to be an author. Cameron not only gave her guidance and direction about her stories but inspired her even more. I can hardly get her to stop writing now! On the day of the visit I had two student teachers with me in my class, both were very impressed and asked about the books, workshops and website. So thank you once again for such a great day."

His rapport with students is fantastic! Our students still talk about Cameron's lunchtime handball competitions and his books just will not stay on the shelf in our library.

I am glad we were included in the tour." Principal, Anakie State School, QLD

 

"A few days before Dr Cameron Stelzer arrived at our school we brainstormed what we thought his book The Stroogle's New Home was about. Then we read the story. This story was shared at a perfect time because our class is talking about our local environment and how we can reuse, reduce and recycle. When Cameron arrived we got to create our own recycled shoe cars from the story! We all had a great time and enjoyed making decisions for ourselves about how each car would look. We loved our time with Cameron and would recommend a visit to any school.” Stage 2 Students, St Joseph’s School Murwillumbah, NSW

 

“Last week Dr Cameron Stelzer, the inventor of the Stroogle, came to our school. It was amazing! Dr Stelzer showed me and the whole school the adventures of Stroogle.

It made me want to be a writer myself.” Stage 3 Student, St Joseph’s School Murwillumbah, NSW
