Year 9 

Author Visit

As part of Library Week, our Year 9 students had the privilege of hearing from author Suzy Zail on Tuesday morning. Suzy spoke to the students about her writing career, her process, and what inspires her. Initially a lawyer, Suzy began writing after discovering that her father was a Holocaust survivor. She recorded his story, which was published posthumously.

Suzy Zail’s books focus on themes of injustice, offering well-researched and compelling perspectives on her characters and their circumstances. Following her talk, some students were fortunate enough to participate in a writing workshop with Suzy. They learned how to research information and use interview techniques to write personal narratives, articles, or memoirs.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Suzy for inspiring our students, to Ms Gale for organising this opportunity, and to the students for their enthusiastic participation. Students can find Suzy Zail’s books available in our College library for further reading and inspiration.
