Students became published writers at St Anthony’s School in Noble Park.

Twenty-four students from the school published their own book as part of Writer in Residence Program funded by Ardoch and the Fitzpatrick Skyes Foundation.

Author Michelle Hamer participated in the workshops where students wrote short stories that were compiled, edited and than published.

The book, Twenty-four Terrific Tales, was officially launched on November 18, where family, friends and community members witnessed students read excerpts and sign copies.
