Primary School Days

Join us for an engaging and educational journey into the world of literature. Sydney Writers’ Festival Primary School Days program is designed to inspire the next generation of readers and storytellers.

Our hugely popular sessions bring renowned children’s authors and illustrators to primary students for a fun, interactive and educational day that deepens their love of reading and writing.

The day is broken up into sessions and students will hear from all the writers and illustrators featured in the day’s program. Our speakers will also be available during breaks to meet students, answer questions and sign books. A dedicated bookshop will be set up at the venue.

The Primary School Days program is best suited to school children in Years 3 to 6.

Primary School Days will return in 2026. The program will be announced in Term 4, 2025. Sign up to our enews here to receive the announcement.
