Keep up to date with the latest news and events from Balmacewen.
Here is a wonderful opportunity for children to interact with writers and illustrators from around New Zealand at the Storylines Children’s Literature Family Day. We have included a programme of events which should appeal to children of all ages, from pre-school right up to young people in their late teens, as well as adults who enjoy author talks and writer’s workshops. There will be theatrical performances by high school students, workshops for budding poets and writers, art workshops, nature workshops, fashion, stories and talks, plus the usual fun of face-painting and craft activities. With a sausage sizzle and popcorn stand thrown in, it’s the perfect day out for the family. We’ve even had people bring birthday party groups along in previous years, as the entertainment’s all laid on free! A copy of the bios is attached.

The oil in the pan hissed as I placed in the succulent pork breakfast sausages. They began to emit a pungent aroma, almost overwhelming the scent of perfect, sunny side up eggs frying beside them..........

First it was just a tiny speck. Barely there. Alone in the vast blackness that was space. Slowly, meandering, it ventures closer, pulsing, vibrating with wild, burning energy...........
