Valerie Bloom at WIS

Renowned author Valerie Bloom visited WIS last week and wowed students with her fascinating poems and stories. We thank her for coming to West Island and working closely with our Pre 16 students in a writing workshop.

Year 7 and 8 students went on to write their own poetry based on Valerie’s unique style.
