On the 6th and 7th August we were delighted to have author, Archie Fusillo, at Garnsey Campus as our 2012 Author in Residence. Archie was born in Melbourne,the son of Italian migrants.A prolific writer and engaging presenter, Archie travels widely to run writing worshops for students and teachers in Australia and overseas.Ths was actually his 4th visit to our school. Once again he had a big impact on our students and there is no doubt that he helps to nurture a reading culture at Garnsey Campus. He ran writing workshops with our Year 7's and presented to the Year 8 and Year 9 cohorts.Although two days never seems enough time with an author,it at least exposes our students to professional creative writers and gives them a "taste" of what it must be like to be a writer.
