We are delighted to say that our VCE twilight seminar with Maxine Beneba Clarke at the State Library of Victoria was a roaring success.

Maxine’s detailed and thoughtful presentation on Foreign Soil elevated students’ understanding of the text, and attendees were full of fantastic and well-considered questions.

Some fantastic feedback we have received:

“Thank you very much for offering the Maxine Beneba Clarke lecture, both myself and the students found it to be excellent. The students loved that she took the time at the end for a meet and greet and a book signing. The content was excellent, and geared towards her teenage audience – so accessible and useful for their SAC’s. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring the girls again next year, should it run again.”

Thank you to the 16 different schools who came along – it was wonderful to meet such passionate students and teachers.

Watch this space for our next twilight seminar coming up this Thursday evening for Cate Kennedy, who will be speaking on Like a House on Fire to a sold out audience.
