The boys absolutely loved your workshops and were buzzing with ideas afterwards. It was so lovely to see how engaged they were, and I’m glad a few of them came back at lunch for a chat, that says so much about the impact you had.
We really appreciate you sharing your time, creativity, and insights with our students. It was such a valuable experience for them, and we hope to welcome you back to Regis in the future! - SC Saint Ignatius' College Riverview April 2025 * 'I enjoyed Fiona Lloyd’s workshop.

Fiona engaged the students with stories that were funny, real and useful and provided them with writing prompts and activities to help them when developing a story. Fiona provided the students with strategies and tools to create vivid stories that evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on their audience. Thank you Fiona.' - AD Teacher Librarian St Ignatius’ College May 2024 |

'Snowy Mountains Grammar School had the pleasure of hosting Author Fiona Lloyd who spoke to the Year 7 cohort about her powerful new novel ‘Being Jimmy Baxter’. Students and staff were able to get to know Fiona on a deeper level and I can truly speak on behalf of everyone when I say she made us feel warm, comfortable and certainly intrigued within the first 5 minutes of her presentation. Students and staff were engaged with her down-to-earth personality and exciting insight into her past experiences, keeping us all wanting to know more. She made us feel inspired and motivated by teaching students that anything is possible and that it is ok to change your mind about your direction in life. Her words of encouragement and creative writing tips were insightful and left students feeling determined and enthused.' - DF Snowy Mountains Grammar School November 2023 |
