We are pleased to announce that the guest speaker for the 2023 lecture will be Australian Children’s Laureate, Gabrielle Wang.

Walking in another’s shoes, seeing through their eyes, feeling their emotions, their fears and joys – only a book has the power to do that.
Gabrielle will talk about how her childhood has led her to the 4 things she is passionate about – Imagination, art, school libraries and diversity in children’s literature.

This lecture will be held on Wednesday 24 May 2023 at St Aidan’s Girls’ School, Corinda.

Thank you to The Australian Children’s Laureate Foundation for supporting Gabrielle’s appearance at this event.
