Alumni Authors
Are you a published Alumni Author? The Alumni Committee is very interested in updating our list of books which have been authored by our Alumni. We would also love to showcase these both potentially in our Learning Resources Centre for the current students to borrow as well as having an Alumni Authors stand at the upcoming Carnival. We think these could make wonderful Christmas present ideas whilst showcasing your talent.
If you are interested in assisting us with this endeavour please contact Anne-Katrine Goulston (Sundell 1990) on 0419491595 or email agoulston@threecrowns.com.au
