On Friday, 14 February, OLSCC is pleased to be able to offer all students from Prep to Yr 6 the opportunity to participate in the Words Out West Writers Festival being hosted by WDRC Dalby Library (Yr 7s who are not involved in the 13-19 yrs swimming carnival will also join in). We are extremely fortunate that our community is hosting an event involving presenters of a very high calibre right here in our town!  

Students from different year levels will be attending sessions throughout the day and due to the volume of students attending, we will be accessing our own College coach as well as external providers. As such, it is ESSENTIAL that all Minor Excursion Consent forms are returned by Tuesday, 11 February. Individual teachers will inform classes if there are any changes to lunch or tuckshop routines for their particular year level. 

The festival continues throughout the weekend of Feb 15-16 with a variety of talks and workshops from notable authors, illustrators, journalists etc, including topics such as: 

• Craft of writing workshops 
• Cartooning workshops 
• So you want your own podcast workshop
