Tickets are on sale now! The program sold out almost immediately in 2023 and 2024, so we encourage you to book quickly to avoid missing out.

The Primary Schools program features the hilarious Nat Amoore, bestselling author Reece Carter, artist and author Nabeel Khan and the award-winning Jess Sanders.

The Secondary Schools program includes YA author Robyn Dennison, poet Solli Raphael, Yuin author Gary Lonesborough, and New York Times-bestselling author Neal Shusterman (USA).

Hosted by MWF Education Advisor Karys McEwen, each day of the MWF Schools program from Monday 5 – Thursday 8 May involves four different sessions.
