MWF Schools

The MWF Schools Program returns in Term 2 of 2026. 

Every year, MWF Schools connects some of the most sought-after storytelling talents with students for an action-packed, highly interactive day of learning at State Library Victoria. 

Hosted by MWF's Education Advisor Karys McEwen, each day of the MWF Schools program features four different sessions. Authors will engage students in a broad range of topics over the course of the day which are all aligned to the Victorian curriculum.
