2026 Author Visit: Mark Smith

We are thrilled to announce that acclaimed Australian author Mark Smith will be visiting Frankston High School on Monday 17 August.

Mark is best known for his award-winning young adult novels, including The Road to Winter trilogy and If Not Us. His books have captivated readers across Australia with their compelling characters, fast-paced storytelling and thought-provoking themes. His latest novel, Three Boys Gone, has also received widespread acclaim.

During his visit, Mark will share his journey as a writer, discuss the inspiration behind his books, and offer students an insight into the creative writing process. Students will also have the opportunity to ask questions and hear firsthand what it takes to become a published author.

This promises to be an inspiring and memorable day for our Years 7 and 8 students, providing a fantastic opportunity to meet a successful Australian author.
