Writers in Schools programme at Redwoodtown School

In May 2026, Read NZ Te Pou Muramura posted on Instagram about the Writers in Schools programme at Redwoodtown School with Gavin Bishop, available here. Quoting from the post:

Our Writers in Schools programme is delivered to kura across Aotearoa year-round. Recently, children’s author and illustrator Gavin Bishop visited a keen group of students at Redwoodtown School.⁠

Here’s what the school had to say about Gavin’s visit:⁠

🗣️“Students were all engaged and excited to be sitting with a real-life author and illustrator! The magic will continue for a long time - inspired learners are still talking about his books and pictures.”⁠

Students were so inspired by Gavin’s famous title, The House That Jack Built, that they created artwork based on the book. They are truly artists in the making! 🎨⁠

Bookings for Writers in Schools visits for Term Three are currently open - or you can support this transformative mahi by becoming a Read NZ Te Pou Muramura member.
