We were delighted to host PLC Old Collegian Leanne Hall (1996) at our recent online Literature Festival.

 @lilymandarin spoke openly about overcaming barriers to become an award-winning writer for children and young adults at a time when there were few role-models from Asian-Australian backgrounds.

 Students also heard from Jane Godwin, Thomas Mayor and Evelyn Araluen who explored Indigenous and multi-cultural themes in their works.

The Festival, run annually, is a rich celebration of writing  that encompasses past, present and future cultures.
