SIDE is excited to announce that the Australian Children’s Laureate and 2016 Children’s Book of the Year winner, author Morris Gleitzman will be visiting SIDE on Wednesday 24th July to work with students in Years 5-10 via Webex.

On Wednesday 20th February, our Year 11 and 12 students participated in our very first Author Online sessions for 2019!

One of the special events in our library this term was hosting author and illustrator Kylie Howarth.

Leigh Hobbs is a man of many talents: author, painter, illustrator and sculptor. Leigh was SIDE’s guest artist in February working with Year 7, 9 and 10 Art students. He recently completed two years as Australian Children’s Laureate, during which he promoted quality children’s literature.

In support of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF), SIDE staff participated in the Great Book Swap on Indigenous Literacy Day, Wednesday 2 September. The Great Book Swap was hosted by the teacher librarians, in conjunction with the Whole School Literacy and Numeracy Committee. A wonderful display of books by Indigenous authors was also created in the SIDE Library Resource Centre.
