Writer's Festival

Each year students engage in a Writers’ Festival and learn valuable writing and illustrating skills from leading SA authors, and illustrators who visit our school.

Phil Cummings with students.
Each author or illustrator is a skilled and successful writer or artist. Their knowledge and insight into their craft is beyond most people’s experiences. They talk about their processes and give students an understanding of the skills they need to make their work better and at times exceptional.

Each child is an author or illustrator in their daily lives at school. Teachers strive to make them the best they can be and using experts in their fields is a successful way to push each student’s capabilities.

After meeting each author/ illustrator children become inspired by their books and this encourages them to read even more.
Who knows, your child might be a future published author or illustrator too.
