Belinda has written more than 30 books including The Sun Sword trilogy, 13 books in the popular Lulu Bell series and her award-winning timeslip novels.  Her latest series is called Pippa’s Island about a group of best friends who start a secret club, which meets after school in a tower on top of a boatshed.

The Writer’s workshop provided students with some skills and tips on developing their own stories, looking at character development, plot creation and use of themes. During the Author talk, Belinda spoke about the development of her own stories, the research needed and the importance of planning.

This opportunity was made possible through the collaboration with Rosary Primary School.

We would like to thank Belinda for sharing her amazing talent with our students.
