Alumni News

Sami Bayly is a hugely successful author and illustrator, with her books taking pride of place in our College Library! In 2024, Sami's illustrations were used to promote the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge, and her suite of beautifully illustrated books has received numerous nominations for illustration and more. As a graduate of The University of Newcastle, Australia, and the recipient of a scholarship dedicated to celebrating the scientific illustrators The Scott Sisters via the Australian Museum, Sami has risen through the ranks of Australian authors and illustrators to find herself as a well-known and highly respected young creator. Keep an eye out for Sami's sixth book to be released later this year. Well done Sami - we love seeing your work and wondering what magic you will create next! And we appreciate how willing you are to return to St Joseph's Regional College to mentor and workshop with our current students.
