English Writing Competition

Congratulations to Anna Slack (Year 7) and Ashley Diec (Year 9) for their recent successes in two prestigious writing competitions.

Anna has been shortlisted for the 2024 Insight Creative Writing Competition. This National Competition has hundreds of submissions each year and to be selected as one of the top five entries from Year 7 is a remarkable achievement. We wish Anna all the best for the formal announcement of the winning entry, and the celebration of the shortlisted works, in Victoria on Wednesday 11 December.

Ashley has been awarded a partial scholarship after entering an essay competition linked to the Oxford University summer school program she attended this year. Her well-researched and powerful essay explores the inequity of the Australian legal system for Aboriginal Australians who experience systemic disadvantage. Ashley must be commended on her engagement with this important and challenging issue.
