Novel Approach from Shore Boys

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, six budding authors from SHORE school in my electorate of North Shore have had their first books published after a year of writing, research and development. I congratulate the following year six boys Henry Grieve, Will McCowan, Rupert Bransgrove, Louis Williams, and Conal Robertson. These students were selected for their interest in writing and consistently performing in all their studies. Under the mentorship of best selling Tim Harris the students gained first hand exposure to explore their creativity and develop their writing skills. Having Tim work with these students also gave them a real-world insight into the world of publishing and the need to ensure that perseverance and resilience are traits that are utilised while navigating this process. The books are being sold with one-hundred percent of the proceeds going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which is a national charity working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remote communities across Australia. Congratulations once again to Henry, Will, Rupert, Louis, and Conal on this outstanding effort.
