Event news

Susanna has just passed this on:

Hi all PWE students – this event sounds like a lot of fun. Next Wednesday, lunch-time. We’ll try to make provision in your subjects for you to attend this, if you have classes on Wednesday.

If you are an Industry Overview student, you might be interested in using this event as one of your pieces to report on.

See you there!
Susanna

VU INVITES YOU TO JOIN A FUN CELEBRATION OF OUR WRITING TALENT!

VU is a proud sponsor of the 6th annual Williamstown Literary Festival.

Christine Croyden, playwright, novelist and VU teacher, will wrap up our day’s activities. Expect to be enlightened, entertained and energised!

Our programme includes:
