Author Visit Written by Jessica Lim and Harry Winspear, Nautilus 3 Darwin Middle School was privileged to welcome Boori “Monty” Pryor to our School on Thursday 14th February. Boori shared some of the entertaining stories from his childhood with us. He has also written several award winning children’s novels with Meme McDonald. Some of those of books are: - My Girragundji - The Binna Binna Man - Njunjul The Sun and - Flytrap (which is one of his more recently written book) Boori had us all laughing, telling us the stories from one of his books. His exaggerated facial expressions and the way he told the stories was what had us laughing. From Boori we learnt that to make a good story you need some truth and experiences to which everyone can relate. To make it interesting you need to add some colour and flavour and even a bit of exaggeration. Photographic Competition You may have noticed that our Administration Office has some inventive pictures on the walls. These photos were taken by some of our students in a competition, details of which were in the last newsletter. We only had a few entries and the winner has been judged as being Harry Winspear with his photo entitled ‘The Five Faces of Education’. Harry wins a $50 Driftwood Café voucher. Other prize winners were Shelley Bryant, Dominic Cabrera, Miranda Cowley and Bayley Valentine. These students win a $20 Driftwood Café voucher. Please take the time to come in and see these inspiring photos from these imaginative students as shown in the photos below.
