READERS & WRITERS FESTIVAL On Thursday 17th May, 40 students from Years 9 and 10 boarded a doubledecker bus to the Aotea Centre, bound for a day of inspiration. Students listened to presentations from four authors, who had travelled to the festival from as close as Auckland (ex-Avondale student, now Poet Laureate Selina Tusitala Marsh) and as far as London, Alaska and Pennsylvania. These authors provided an insight into writing in a range of diverse genres, including poetry, drama, spoken word, young-adult and science-fiction. Highlights were A.S. King and Alex Wheatle, two novelists who captivated students with stories from their own lives and emphasised the important links between creative writing and positive mental health. Overall it was a fantastic trip, with plenty of ideas and encouragement to fuel students' minds and pens.
