Author Mark Smith conducted an author talk to the Year 9 cohort at Resurrection House on Tuesday 4 April. He spoke about his journey to becoming a reader having not completed reading a book until Year 9 when a catastrophic injury from a horse riding accident meant that Mark was forced to stay indoors for six months, in that time he started reading books.
Coincidently he noticed when he was able to go back to school after a long recovery that his marks improved. The students who wanted to attend Mark’s writing workshop were treated to Mark’s various writing strategies that he uses to write an action packed and compelling story. It was a great day in which all the students gained some inspiration and insights into books and the life of an author. Mark was a very welcome guest being the former Director of Campus at our Santa Monica campus.

The Library will be closed during the upcoming school holiday break and will open normal hours after the holidays.
