WRITER'S WORKSHOP

Book Week

Earlier this term, we were fortunate to receive a generous grant from the City of Boroondara to host writing events to celebrate Book Week. Local, award winning writer, Melissa Keil, visited the school and gave an inspiring and thoroughly engaging talk to all Year 8 students. She gave insights into her writing process and the way the publishing industry works. Rather than just focusing on her ideas, Melissa was able to provide our students with the opportunity to view writing as an achievable and fulfilling career.

After the talk, a group of Year 8 students participated in a writing workshop with Melissa where she was able to pass on some new techniques and ways of approaching creative writing. A number of students submitted entries for the Boroondara Literary Awards and we wish them good luck.
