Sienna Weir Poetry Workshop and Prize

Last year we were excited to invite Australian poet Jane Gibian to SCEGGS to work with a small group of Year 6 and 7 students as a part of the inaugural Sienna Weir poetry workshop and prize. The students spent a day learning about poetry, writing and drafting their own pieces while also receiving feedback from Ms Gibian. After drafting, revisions and editing, each student’s work was published by the school and considered for a Speech Night prize. 

Sienna’s parents are generously supporting this workshop again this year and we are delighted to invite Ms Gibian back in Term 3 to work with a new group of students. Students are invited to apply for this opportunity by submitting one or two pieces of poetry to either Ms Cristi Wilsmore (Year 6 students) or Ms Jenny Bean (Year 7 students) at the email addresses below. 

• Cristi Wilsmore
• Jenny Bean

Students may submit any pieces they have composed this year (including pieces they may have worked on in class or submitted for other competitions). All entries must be submitted electronically by Friday 25 July (Week 1, Term 3). We look forward to reading the entries
