Back To School With John Marsden

You don't have to wait until Tomorrow to watch this ep.

This post is presented in partnership with Bankwest.

In 2015, we interviewed Anthony Albanese, Michael Caton, Marie Bashir, Tom Ballard and too many other fascinating peeps to mention. Tough to top, right?

Well, in Season 3 of Back to School With, we're kicking it up a notch.

Our webseries Back to School With invites Australia's most interesting and successful people to share stories from their school days. In each episode, they let us know how they landed their dream careers, as well as how they faced all those inevitable obstacles of teenagerdom along the way.

In the second episode of Season 3, we speak with John Marsden, author of the iconic Tomorrow series (beginning with Tomorrow When The War Began) and principal of Candlebark School in Victoria. He candidly shared with us stories from his difficult days at military school and explained how his love for reading (and some time away in a psychiatric ward) became his salvation.

Check it out!

We'll meet you back here next week for the third episode of BTSW Season 3!
