The children of St Madeleines had the pleasure of being visited by Dr Cameron Stelzer the wonderful author of the Scallywag and Pierat series of books.
He shared his talents of illustration and spoke to us about things that inspired him to create the wonderful series of books. The children were engaged in quizzes and the art of drawing.
Dr Cameron Stelzer really is a real Doctor, not a made up one like Dr Seuss! His doctorate is in Visual Arts (so , you won't find him hanging around a doctor's surgery).
Cameron has been a full-time author for fifteen years and has written and illustrated twenty books for children and has worked with over six hundred schools around Australia. His books have won a dozen international book awards. The six books in Cameron’s Stroogle series use enchanting rhyme and vivid watercolour illustrations to bring the stories to life.
We are lucky to now have autographed copies of not only his books in our library but also the illustrations he drew with the children.
What a fantastic way to kick of Book Week!

🕊️ Pope Francis Remembrance 🕊️ Today our school gathered in prayer and reflection to honour the life and legacy of Pope Francis. Led with reverence by our Laudato Si student leaders, the liturgy was a beautiful tribute to a man who inspired love, peace, and care for our common home. With great respect and stillness, our students and staff prayed for a leader who walked humbly and called us to care deeply. May we continue to be inspired by the life and message of Pope Francis. 🌿✝️

🕊️ As Pope Francis is laid to rest today, we pause once again in gratitude for his extraordinary leadership and unwavering faith. We unite our hearts in prayer for his eternal peace and give thanks for the legacy he leaves behind - a legacy of mercy, humility, and hope. His funeral reminds us of the profound impact one life, lived for others, can have on the world.
