Schools’ Program 28 — 31 Aug Fed Square For everyone who reads Thanks Nearly 13,000 students enjoy Melbourne Writers Festival’s Schools’ Program thanks to the generous support of our partners. Major Partners Official Bookseller Education Partner Schools’ Program Partners Supporters Schools’ Programming The R E Ross Trust Committee Victorian Association for the Teaching of English Myke Bartlett Kate Gillespie Leanne Hall Special Thanks Susan La Marca Centre for Youth Literature Daniel Micallef Immigration Museum Marisa Pintado National Gallery of Victoria Adele Walsh 2 Melbourne Writers Festival Schools’ Program Welcome Welcome to the MWF Schools’ Program Growing the next generation of readers is something MWF takes great pride in. With around 13,000 attendees each year, our Schools’ Program is Australia’s biggest literary festival for students. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome leading Australian voices including Randa Abdel-Fattah, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Morris Gleitzman, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, as well as creator and editor-in-chief of global website Muslim Girl, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh. Across a diverse range of events, our artists will engage and inspire young people to discuss books, writing and creativity. In this rapidly changing world, the MWF Schools’ Program examines who we are as individuals within the global community, exploring themes of identity and belonging, gender and race. We look at bullying in a society permeated by social media, and discover how to do what we love and follow our dreams. From talks and walks to poetry and drawing, each Schools’ Program event is designed to spark conversations between young readers and writers. Open a world of imagination with fantasy universes and Harry Potter, or get an inside look at the publishing industry with our hands-on workshops. Our diverse program has something to get every student writing, illustrating, investigating, thinking and questioning. I look forward to welcoming your school to the Festival.

    Aurora Rising: the Aurora Cycle 1

    Aurora Rising: The Aurora Cycle 1 By Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff May 2019 ISBN 9781760295738 Paperback novel Recommended for 12-18-year-olds Summary The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch… • A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm • A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates • A smart-ass tech-wiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder • An alien warrior with anger management issues • A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering And Ty’s squad isn’t even his biggest problem – that’d be Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, the girl he’s just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler’s squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy. They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic. Dual authorship is rare in novels, but Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s collaboration is seamless, writing in a consistent and lively style with no obvious indications as to who has written which character.

May 19, Summer Kartchner Olsen rated it liked it. Uno loves the forest so much, he decides to live there. It's an illuminating blend of storybook, puzzle book, and math book.

    09 OK Cr Prof Base Graeme.Pub

    Graeme Base I was born in England in 1958, but have lived in Australia since I was a kid. I always wanted to be an artist and studied graphic design at Swinburne College of Technology then worked for two unhappy years in a string of design studios before concluding that the world of advertising was not for me. So I decided to be a rockstar instead and formed a band called Rikitikitavi. During this time I also wrote and illustrated my first picture book, My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch (pub. 1983). Three years later Animalia came out – the book which turned a hobby into a career and is still the most popular title I have published. I've tried to stay involved in music over the years, composing an orchestral version of another book, The Sign of the Seahorse, which was performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2001 – an amazing experience! I've written musical stage adaptations of My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch and Jungle Drums and also co-wrote the theme for the animated TV series Animalia with Yuri Worontschak. My most recent picture book is Enigma, published by Penguin in October 2008. There was also a large format book entitled The Art of Graeme Base by Julie Watts, also published in 2008. I live and work in Melbourne with Robyn (she's an artist too) and our three teenage kids.

    The Journal of Public Space ISSN 2206-9658 2019 | Vol. 4 n. 3 https://www.journalpublicspace.org The Long Game Dan Goronszy [email protected] Abstract The Long Game explores one artwork, The Care Taker, iterated across multiple sites, as a slow and gentle resistance to current divisive political discourses in Australia. By placing a familiar domestic set in public spaces and asking participants to reveal something personal about themselves, the installation places a sense of intimacy and care in public places. Based in Social Acupuncture theory (O’Donnell, 2006) a site responsive practice produces iterations adapted to place, to engage diverse social and cultural audiences in suburban Australia. Using care, kindness and generosity as the foundations of each iteration, the artist considers how gentle transgression or activation of public space can open and connect strangers to each other, and hopefully inspire empathy and kindness which over time may contribute to social change.
