School Performances

Jenni's performances in schools have been widely acclaimed by teachers and children alike. She draws upon her diverse story repertoire and adjusts her program according to the age of the group and their mood and interests.

“Jenni Cargill-Strong's story telling performance was a lively and entertaining experience which was appropriate for children of all ages. Jenni's stories captivated the imagination of my students and I would recommend her performance to any teacher who is seeking an enriching experience for their students. - Lauren Colvin, Class 1 teacher, Linuwel Steiner School, East Maitland

“Jenni was wonderful and after hearing her tell a Rudyard Kipling tale on Assembly, I realised that I had totally underestimated her wonderful skill at relating stories. Many of our boys were totally speechless listening to and participating in the stories; a truly remarkable feat!” - Toowoomba Grammar, August, 2009.

“The students were enthralled. Jenni presented the magic of stories and children's literature in a fun, engaging way. Each of her four performances was aimed at the specific age group, from Stage One to Stage Three.” - Libby O'Connor, Teacher Librarian, Byron Bay Public School.

“Exciting performer for all children. Jenny was very entertaining.The children were buzzing about the performance for a few days.” - Linda Constable, Teacher Librarian, Murwillumbah East Public School

“A very dynamic performance that kept all children waiting for more! Especially liked the singing that went with the stories.” - S. Robinson, Murwillumbah East Public School

“She was great! Highly animated and captured the kids imaginations so well. It reinspired me to do more "story telling" rather than story reading with my class. The kids also really enjoy being physically involved in the drama/percussion/actions of the story. Very enjoyable for all ages.” - M. Davidson, Murwillumbah East Public School.

“Jenni’s stories came straight from the heart and filled the air with magic and wonder. Her use of simple props, percussion instruments and active participation of children, interspersed with her beautiful singing voice enabled her performance to be received by all the 3-6 year olds in the group.” - Mari Mathieson Co-Director, Federal Community Preschool.

“Jenni Cargill is an enchanting storyteller who shares stories from around the world with energy, style and verve. Jenni's capable manner ensures children K-6 are enthralled with her performance. She sprinkles music, wonderful acting and different voices through her performances. Highly entertaining and worthwhile.” - DEPT OF EDUCATION NSW PUBLICATION

Performances for Adults

Her performances for adults are suitable for folk festivals, conferences and functions. Her stories work best in a quiet, focused environment. Then listeners can settle down, change gear and be transported by the magic of a good yarn, skillfully told.

“My class were enchanted by Jenni's creative storytelling. Her presentation also provided me with useful ideas for future storytelling activities.
I found Jenni's workshop for teachers and parents provided useful gems of inspiration! - Joan Clarke, Class 2 teacher, Linuwel Steiner School, East Maitland

“Jenni Cargill-Strong possesses a natural instinct for the power of language and how it can create and effect authentic transformation. Jenni is an experience not to miss.” - Marina Orpen (Business Development and Trainer. Health and Beauty)
