The morning will kick off with coordinators Debbie Macer and Jenny Hurse, retired teachers, announcing the winners of a story writing competition—involving students from local and regional schools. Followed by a writing workshop with critically acclaimed author Martine Murray, where students will be invited to share their writing.
Martine will talk about the importance of words used to create a sense of location—what are some words relating to ‘Winter’ and read writing samples describing a place during Winter. Students will craft a piece of writing inspired by ‘words in Winter’ and share with each other.
The morning will finish with lunch kindly provided by the Maryborough Education Centre.
