Last evening, the 2015 Education Review was held at HarperCollins offices in Elizabeth Street in Sydney.

What a wonderful opportunity to meetup with our Teacher Librarian Professional Learning Network (TL PLN) and enjoy presentations by some of the authors who publish with HarperCollins.

Presentators included the wonderful illustrator, Bruce Whatley, and author, Libby Hathorn. Both of these incredibly talented Australians shared their work process for producing titles they have contributed to the commemoration of the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915.

An audience of current and future Teacher Librarians were hanging on every word and our gratitude goes to the hard-working staff of HarperCollins who were supportive and welcoming for this event.

The picture here shows the extraordinary view from the HarperCollins offices, down across Hyde Park with St Mary’s Cathedral and a cruise liner in the distance. It was a beautiful venue for a very treasured opportunity to enjoy good company and listen to fabulous Australian authors and illustrators.

Thanks HarperCollins – it was worth every moment of the effort to get there at the end of a school day.
