Bookings

There are two bookings forms for schools this year.

One is to request taking schools to our SAFI venues in Ipswich or at Woodlands of Marburg 5-9 August 2024.

One is to request a visiting author during Science Week 12 – 16 August 2024.

First view the program at the bottom of the Programs Page to help you decide which days, venues and programs best suit you students. The first round of bookings will close at the end of Term 1. Further bookings will be taken during Term 2.

See below for information on how to make these bookings at the StoryArts Festival.

 

Apply to be selected for the Books and Buses Project – SAFI 2024

A grant submission has been made to cover the costs of some buses where schools find they have difficulties with funds. If you are interested in being considered for support for buses, please fill in the application below. The grant will also offer free books to the children on those buses. 

We aim to bring students from middle-upper primary to StoryArts Festival Ipswich 2024 and provide one free book per student selected by the student from the festival book shop. We may also provide some pre-festival visits to prepare students attending the festival in this project. We will also require feedback from the schools as to the impact of the visit on the students.

If the grant application is successful (and we may not know until May-June), funds will be allocated based on the school’s ICSEA value and responses below.

We will let you know if we get the grant, and if your school is selected to be part of the program. This will all be sent via email.
