John Paul College was host of Book in a Day in their fantastic newly built Assembly Room. Students from 12 schools were fortunate to be involved in writing workshops presented by two well known award winning Australian authors, Andrea Rowe and Coral Vass.
Illustrators in the group joined Dean Rankine (Simpsons Comic book illustrator) as well as artist/illustrator Nicky Johnston for inspiration on drawing styles, shapes and sketches.
All four workshop sessions were highly regarded by students and teachers, with students learning valuable skills in advance of Writing Day next month.
During the afternoon students worked on large posters in their school groups to create a framework for a “mini book” including planning and illustrations based on a selection of prompts supplied.
