He is listed in the top 5 most popular authors in the De La Salle library system.
This is an event open to Year 7 and 8 fathers and sons only. Morris will speak during the breakfast about his writing. Fathers will be encouraged to talk to their sons about what they enjoy reading.

2019 Winter Sleepout
Sleep a night under the stars to raise funds and awareness for the many people enduring homelessness by signing up to the annual St Edwin’s House Winter Sleepout at Kinnoull from 6:00pm Friday 16 August to 7:00am Saturday 17 August.
By sleeping outside and eating minimal food, students will create an authentic experience of discomfort for one evening. We will have a guest speaker from St Vincent de Paul and a twilight liturgy. Rug up! Bring a sleeping bag and warm clothes, and cardboard to sleep on.
Students from Years 10 to 12 are invited to participate (and younger students if they are interested). There is a $20 donation and all money goes to St Vinnies, along with the money from our Easter Raffle. Contact St Edwin’s House Coordinator Ms Jessica Stevenson for more information!
