Student Sessions

Student Sessions is a full-day program of engaging and lively discussions linked directly to the Stage 6 NSW English syllabus.  

In 2026, there are two strands of sessions on offer, with each session running for 45 minutes. You can create your own schedule, combining sessions from either strand.   

The Craft of Writing sessions are deep dives into the craft of writing with experts in different forms and these sessions complement both the Craft of Writing modules and the Extension English 2 Major Work projects.  

In 2026 we also have Spotlight Series with sessions that focus on studying Shakespeare, critical response and the editing process from manuscript to published book. All sessions will be moderated by highly experienced secondary school educators. 

Student Sessions is presented in partnership with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and presented at Carriageworks. 

Recommended for students in Years 11 and 12.

Student Sessions will return in 2027. Sign up to the our enews to receive the program announcement.
