Year 7 Writer's Excursion to Geraldton

On Thursday June 20, Mr Bradley and a group of Year 7 students went to Geraldton to a Young Writer's Day organised by Fremantle Literacy Centre.
The guest speaker was Brian Falkner, an award-winning writer of children and young adult books. After this entertaining and engaging speach, Mr Bradley and the students returned with a keen interest in reading Mr Falkner's books.
The library holds one of his books, "The Project", and now have two more on order!


"The Project" - It started with a book.
The most boring book in the world!
So boring that nobody would ever read it.
The perfect place to hide a terrible secret.
But now the book has emerged from its hiding
place and the world may never be the same.
Falkner, B. (2010). The Project. Newton, N.S.W. : Walker.
