A reminder that the annual UWRF takes place in Ubud on 23 to 27 October 2019; use the mid semester break to plan your visit!
Some highlights this year: Tony Wheeler (of Lonely Planet), Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, food writer and chef Yoham Ottolenghi, bestselling author and New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean, social historian Lucy Inglis, founder of the Jakarta Foreign Correspondents Club Frank Palmos and many, many more.

Remember, encouraging your children to become keen and critical readers is the most effective way to advance their academic progress. The festival is a great opportunity for you as a family to share or develop enthusiasm for reading and writing!
