Consistency schoolwide

Seven Steps can be implemented across the whole school, for all ability levels. Consistency and a common language drives whole-school change and builds momentum year after year.

Empowered (and excited!) teachers

The Seven Steps are practical, simple and fun. Teachers leave our workshops with the tools and confidence to create a vibrant writing classroom full of ideas, laughter and great writing.

Students who love writing!

Seven Steps shifts students’ writing mindsets. No more groans at writing time. Instead, writing classrooms are buzzing with engaged and confident writers.

Creativity unlocked

Seven Steps supports students to think like authors; to tap into their innate creativity to develop unique and engaging narrative, persuasive and informative texts.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the prices listed as 'Starting from ...'?

When we provide you with a quote for your school package, it will include all presenting fees, travel and accommodation and resources for your school.

We can’t list the exact price of our packages above, as there are a few variables that we need to work out:

  • Teacher Hub subscription prices vary depending on the size of your school
  • Travel and accommodation for schools that are remote need to be added to the price.

How many teachers can come to a workshop at our school?

To ensure the best experience for your teachers, we usually limit our face-to-face workshops to 45 teachers and our online workshops to 60. However, if you are interested in a bigger session, let us know and we can see if we can work out a solution.

Can we invite other schools or teachers to our workshop?

Absolutely! We recommend inviting teachers from other schools to share in the experience. Many schools do this, and several have told us that afterwards they’ve developed a local cluster and gone on to support each other in implementing the Seven Steps! It’s also a great way to share the costs.

Please note that each school will need to purchase their own set of resources – Seven Steps manuals and Teacher Hub subscriptions cannot be shared between schools.

How do I get a quote for a school package?

Simply click on your preferred package above, and we can send you a quote for your school. Or give us a call on (03) 9521 8439 and we’d be happy to chat through your needs.

Can I book a workshop for after-school hours?

Yes! We know for many schools that it’s too tricky (and expensive!) to hold training during the school day. As our online workshops are broken up into 3 live, online sessions, you can choose the times that are most convenient for your school. This includes after school, during lunchtime, on a curriculum day, on the weekend or in the holidays!

Please note that we are not able to hold after-school sessions for our face-to-face workshops.

We're a regional school; are we still able to host a workshop at our school?

We’ve travelled to every part of Australia imaginable, and even internationally, to train schools. We would love to come to you!

Please give us a call on (03) 9521 8439 and we can chat about your needs. And always remember that our online workshops are a fantastic alternative!
