Students attend Melbourne Writer's Festival

Wednesday 27th August

Ten students from Middle School enjoyed a wonderful day at the Melbourne Writer's Festival. We attended three sessions, The 52 Storey Treehouse with Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton; The Word Spy with Ursula Dubosarsky and Tohby Riddle and The Great Guinea Pig Mystery with Ursula Dubosarsky and Terry Denton. A wonderful and inspirational day was had by all and we even managed to get autographs!!! 

Thursday 28th August

Ten Senior students went to the Writer’s Festival. We heard from some inspiring writers and illustrators including Tohby Riddle, Michael Camilleri, David Metzenthen and Carole Wilkinson. We found out about how authors develop their ideas and the long processes they go  through to finish and publish a piece of writing. Overall we had a great day and look forward to applying what we learnt to our own writing.
