Biennial Literature Festival Coming Soon!
Plans are nearly finalised for the 2015 Literature Festival taking place from Wednesday 6 May to Friday 8 May 2015. During this time all boys from Kindergarten to Year 12 will attend a variety of workshops and presentations from the visiting authors, illustrators and journalists. Our aim is to encourage the boys to take part in the adventure of books and reading.
“Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.” Barbara W. Tuchman
Parents and friends are welcome to come to the community events and to the exciting Opening Evening Panel where four of the visiting authors will share their thoughts and ideas on ‘Why Is Literature Relevant in the Modern World?’ .
