To support Gladstone State High School’s focus on best practice in teaching writing, GSHS staff and students had the opportunity to work with visiting lecturer, Dr John Collins, who came from the frozen landscape of Harvard to warm and sunny Gladstone to spend two days at Gladstone State High School last week.

On Tuesday the 16^th of February, Gladstone State High School hosted delegates from local primary and high schools, as well as those from further afield – Monto and Biloela – to a workshop presented by Dr John Collins: Improving Student Performance Through Writing and Thinking Across the Curriculum. The day was both interesting and entertaining since Dr Collins is not only an acknowledged expert in his field, as a lecturer and developer of The Collins Writing Program designed to improve writing skills and provide strategies FOR learning in all subject areas , but also an engaging speaker.
