In the first week back, we received a ‘Five Star Writers Award’ from Young Writers for our commitment to developing creative writing in school, and for nurturing students as literacy lovers. This is because lots of our students have been very successful in national creative writing competitions and have had their short stories and poems published in books over the past two years. Many of these books, including the ‘Stranger Sagas’, ‘Midsummer Night Rhymes’, ‘Shake Up Shakespeare’, ‘Busta Rhyme’ ‘Welcome To Wonderland’, ‘Pet Poetry’ and ‘Ghost Stories’ collections, are available in our school library for students to borrow and to take home to show their parents.
