May 2025 | Ann Liang author talk
Last Tuesday, author Ann Liang visited Mac.Rob and gave a fantastic author talk. Year 12 students Khim and Natasha led a memorable Q n A session with questions such as "what inspires the magical realist aspects in your writing?" and "how did you get a raw 50 in literature?" Students were given an opportunity to get photos with Ann and have their books signed by her. It was great to see so many students attend this event and we encourage you to borrow Ann's books from the library if you haven't already read them.
