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.
