Author Visit – George Ivanoff

This week, our Grade 3 and 4 students were treated to an inspiring visit from award-winning Australian author George Ivanoff.

George captivated the students with stories about his writing journey, how he develops ideas for his books, and the creative process behind bringing characters to life. He shared tips on using imagination, persistence, and curiosity when writing, as well as the importance of reading widely.

Students were eager to ask questions, learn more about the life of an author, and even picked up a few writing tricks they can try in their own stories. It was a wonderful opportunity to inspire our budding young writers!
