Year 12 English Author Visit

On Friday of Week 7, the English faculty had the pleasure of welcoming Will Kostakis to the college to conduct workshops with our Year 12 students. Will is a widely published Australian author who has extensive experience in working with senior English students on improving their creative writing skills, as well as providing advice and expert tips on how to best prepare for the upcoming Trial and HSC exams. It was a valuable learning experience for both our English Standard and Advanced groups. They were given a range of practical strategies to implement within their preparation for their final assessments, while being entertained by Will's engaging approach and energy. His passion for writing was evident and was a great motivator for our seniors to continue their pursuit of excellence in imaginative writing. We thank the organisers of the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival who provide us with opportunities to host authors every year; but especially we thank Will! Your time and wisdom is much appreciated by the English faculty and our senior students.
