Keep Kids Writing - Sydney Story Factory

 

Last newsletter we told you about our plans to roll out digital learning opportunities, and here we are as promised, with a host of options. Whether you're a teacher, parent, student, principal or supporter - we've got options to support creative writing in young people. All our options are flexible, designed to support teachers and students in a range of circumstances and keep kids engaged and writing. If you're a teacher in an eligible school and would like to talk about how our resources can support you - please get in touch with us today at info@storyfactory.org.au Onwards, Story Factory

Whether online or in person, we're there to support young people tell their stories. Image by Jim A. Baker.
