On Wednesday 30 July, St Joseph’s was thrilled to welcome award-winning children’s author Aleesah Darlison to our school! Aleesah spent the day captivating students with her storytelling magic and sharing valuable writing tips.

Years 3–6 explored the craft of Descriptive & Sensory Writing, discovering how to use words to create vivid imagery and evoke emotion.

Preps–Year 2 had a wonderful time diving into Fun, Fantasy & Fractured Fairytales, sparking imaginations and plenty of giggles!

A few lucky students even received a signed copy of Aleesah’s latest book, Running from the Tiger — a special memento from an inspiring day.

A big thank you to Aleesah for sharing her passion and creativity. You’ve left a lasting impression on our budding young authors!
