Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards 2025

We are very proud of all the students who entered this year’s Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards. The theme “All the beautiful things” encouraged students to write pieces on a range of uplifting and inspiring topics.

Annabel Ling’s (Year 6) poem “Two Children” and Amelie Singer’s (Year 10) work “Icarus” were both Highly Commended in the competition.

Cynthia Cai’s (Year 8) “A Show of Beautiful Things” and Zoe Lindner’s (Year 12) “Generational” both received Commendations.

This is an impressive achievement and we congratulate each of them on their success in this national competition.
