Year 9 English Enrichment

This year a group of 12 dedicated Year 9 students completed the English Enrichment course, producing works ranging from epistolary prose to lyric poetry, high fantasy to gritty realism, psychological drama to creative non-fiction. Their support of one another in a year full of challenges was a model of community.

They encouraged each other in their creative endeavours, noticing what made other students’ texts powerful or beautiful, shared sources of literary inspiration and helped each other to find the way through impasses. Witnessing the emergence of original, audacious thinking in our students as they discovered more about their vision and their voice was a privilege and a delight.
