Sienna Weir Poetry Workshop and Prize

For the last two years we have been fortunate to have Australian poet Jane Gibian work with a small group of Year 6 and 7 students as a part of the Sienna Weir Poetry Workshop and Prize. The students spend a day learning about poetry, writing and drafting their own pieces while also receiving feedback from Ms Gibian. After drafting, revisions and editing, each students’ work is 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  by email to either Ms Cristi Wilsmore (Year 6 students) or Ms Jenny Bean (Year 7 students).

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 14 August (Week 4, Term 3).

We look forward to reading the entries!
