All Aboard the Storyboard Bus

On Monday 26th November students at Bogangar PS boarded the Storyboard Bus for a writing adventure with local author Lucas Proudfoot.

StoryBoard is a travelling creative writing workshop that stimulates the critical life skill of active and functional literacy  through writing and publishing. It brings leading authors and illustrators into schools, to help inspire young people in the Northern Rivers to create stories, foster creativity and literacy.

Lucas presented his entertaining perspective about being a writer at a whole school assembly before a writing workshop with 25 students from Years 3-5.

Student views

"I never really liked writing stories until I went into the story board bus. They taught me use my imagination and be creative. Now I love writing stories." Indi

"We were inspired by having fun with Lucas Proudfoot. We didn't have to copy other stories of copy off the whiteboard we just had to let our minds go free and do their own thing. We had fun writing our own story and sharing it with other students." Gillian, Lily & Layla

"It inspired me that I could write better and more. It made me think more random and crazy" Phoenix
