I'm really enjoying Thea Astley's 'Hunting the Wild Pineapple', and so
are the students now, though they resisted and struggled. We have become
so attached to Leverson, and his dry commentary on the world around him,
that he has become a classroom character.

MLC ... A World of Choice!
Methodist Ladies' College is one of Australia's most successful and
innovative schools, offering a world of amazing learning choices and
experiences - over 40 VCE subjects, the International Baccalaureate and
6 VET programs. While we offer big school opportunities for students
from MLC Kindle to Year 12, we also provide small school care and
attention so every student feels valued. That's MLC TLC. To find out

I'm a huge fan of Michelle de Kretser's The Hamilton Case. It doesn't
have long to live on the booklist and it's only really Australian
because its author is (the novel is set in Sri Lanka), but it's a
wonderful text and has been very successful in the classroom.

Would love some discussion about text choice for Literature. 
Which Australian texts are teachers choosing?
