Literary Festival success

The Festival was centred on writing that interrogates and reflects history, with the aim of celebrating literature and reinvigorating a love of reading and writing.

Writer-In-Residence Mr Lachlan Philpott mentored the inaugural Creative Writing Collective. This intensive programme across the term involved a group of boys in Forms I– IV and culminated in “A Night at the Library” at the State Library of NSW, where boys read their completed works surrounded by the exhibits that had inspired their writing.

The English Extension 2 cohort showcased their major works in an evening event in the Library, and members of the Women’s and Fathers’ Associations put themselves in the boys’ shoes in an evening writing workshop hosted by Lachlan Philpott.
