From Head of Library Services, Mr William Roberts
Waverley College was proud to participate in the 2020 Australian Children’s Book Week launch. Selected classes tuned into the presentation, live from Taronga Zoo, in our Literacy lessons. Boys were able to listen to award-winning author Will Kostakis give his top tips for improving your writing and hear from students around Australia as they reviewed the shortlisted children’s books for 2020.
Year 12 guest leaders also came in to read to the Year 7 boys. Our new 2021 leaders read from a selection of books on this year’s theme, ‘Curious Creatures, Wild Minds’.
The following Year 12 leaders participated:
Klayton Thorn
Peter Stamatelatos
Byron Scott
We thank our Literacy team, Mr Robert Tall and Andrea Fernandez, for their participation in – and support of – this treasured Australian event.
