A Symphony of Stories
The College of Arts, Society and Education and The Roderick Centre invites you to embark on an unforgettable adventure. Join us for an inspiring day filled with creativity, exploration, and fun. Whether you're a high-performing reader or writer, or simply passionate about the world of storytelling, this event is for you.
Join us at James Cook University for a special Book Week experience designed to bring stories and Years 9-11 high school students together from across our community. Inspired by this year’s international book week theme – A Symphony of Stories – the day explores how narratives work in harmony: how certain character traits, situations and stories, set in motion, can become a
wonderful ensemble.
As well as an interactive workshop led by Kate Mildenhall, high school students will experience a taste of university life – meeting lecturers and mentors, exploring the campus and taking part in creative, collaborative storytelling.
