In Term I the SCEGGS English Department is delighted to welcome back Margot Lee (Class of 2019) to run after school creative writing workshops. Margot has had her poetry awarded and published in both Australia and the USA and was placed 5th in the State in English Extension 2. She has attended creative writing workshops at both Iowa and Columbia University and is looking forward to sharing her experience and passion with other SCEGGS students.

Margot will run three afternoon workshops (from 3:30-4:30pm), where students will have the opportunity to respond to creative pieces and to craft and workshop their own writing. We hope that all participants will leave with a workshopped piece that they can feel proud of, as well as a heightened appreciation for the joy and challenge of writing creatively.

These workshops are open to secondary students across all year levels, experience and abilities. Places are limited though, so please email Sarah Hawkins by Friday 14 February with a brief expression of interest if you would like to be involved. In this expression of interest, you should include;

• Your Name
• Your Year level
• Your English Teacher
• A brief reason why you would like to be involved in these workshops

Dates for the workshops:

• Tuesday 18 February (Week 4)
• Tuesday 25 February (Week 5)
• Tuesday 10 March (Week 7)
