Term 3 Author visit – Jack Heath

We are thrilled to announce that acclaimed author Jack Heath will be visiting FHS on Monday, 18th August!

Jack has written over 40 novels for adults, young adults, and children, with a strong focus on the Thriller genre. He prides himself on creating exciting, fast-paced books that engage even the most reluctant readers.

This promises to be an inspiring and unforgettable day for our Year 7 and 8 students, providing a fantastic opportunity to meet an author and discover the thrill of reading!

Hi, I'm Jack! I'm a novelist from Canberra, Australia. My work includes 300 Minutes of Danger (for kids), Kill Your Husbands (not for kids), and forty other books, which have sold half a million copies in ten languages. I live on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land with my wife, five chickens, three possums, two cats, and a pair of human children.

Find out more about Jack Heath.

Makerspace boxes

Our Wednesday Makerspace sessions have become so popular that we wanted to offer students the opportunity to be creative every day. To make this possible, we’ve introduced new Makerspace boxes, allowing students to choose their own activities whenever they like.

The Puzzle and Beading boxes have quickly become favourites, sparking creativity and engagement with our library regulars.

We look forward to offering even more opportunities for students to learn, create, and have fun. We are currently seeking donations of jigsaw puzzles that would be engaging for teenagers, as well as puzzle mats if anyone has them available. Your contributions would help us continue to expand and enhance our Makerspace experience.
