Support the Festival
A fun, informative and inspiring day out, this beloved program is back in 2027 featuring an exciting line-up of renowned authors.
Designed to inspire the next generation of readers and storytellers in the classroom and beyond, our School Days are a fantastic opportunity for primary and secondary students to connect with their favourite authors and discover new ones.
Literary festivals play a vital role in a democratic society. They are places where stories are shared, but also where complex and challenging conversations can unfold with care, courage and respect.
Aimed to spark a lifetime love of storytelling and creativity amongst the next generation of readers, Russ the Story Bus visits thousands of students in Western Sydney and regional NSW every year.
