Grade five and six students from Macarthur, Grassmere, Penshurst, Cudgee, Noorat, Panmure, Cavendish, Nullawarre, Branxholme and Coleraine attended the workshop at South West TAFE.
Children’s author and Mobile Area Resource Centre (MARC) library teacher for the Hamilton region Matt Porter together with MARC library teacher for the Warrnambool small schools network Christine Howlett hosted day and said it was a chance for the children to do something they have a passion for.
“They’re creating a book together,” Mr Porter said.
“The library van is pulling up at each school and there’s a new character at each school.”
Mrs Howlett said the workshop was an opportunity for students who had a passion for reading and writing to develop their skills.
“It’s something special for these kids,” she said.
“They really love writing and love books. Their stories are coming to life.”
