Author Tia Fisher Inspires Students with “Crossing The Line”
On Monday, 6th October, our school had the privilege of welcoming acclaimed author Tia Fisher, who visited to discuss her powerful novel Crossing The Line. The book tackles real-life challenges faced by young people today, making her visit especially relevant and impactful for our students.
Tia began the day by leading a thought-provoking workshop with a group of Year 9 and Year 10 students. During the session, pupils explored how verse can be used to express emotions and ideas, sparking meaningful conversations about identity, resilience, and choices. Students were highly engaged, asking insightful questions and sharing their own perspectives.
Later, Tia delivered a whole-year assembly to Year 9, where she spoke about the themes of her book and the importance of finding your voice. Her interactive approach encouraged students to think deeply about the issues raised in Crossing The Line and how they relate to their own lives.
The visit was an inspiring experience for everyone involved, leaving students motivated to read, write, and reflect on the power of words.
