Sienna Weir Prize for Poetry<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sienna was a vibrant young woman with a passion for English, and in particular, poetry writing. She wrote and studied poetry from Primary School through to University and completed English at the highest level at SCEGGS, where she excelled in her HSC results and completed an Extension 2 Major Work. To celebrate her life, her family wanted to help foster a love of poetry in young writers and have sponsored a poetry workshop and Speech Night Prize aimed at students in Years 6 and 7.<\/p>\n

This year we are excited to invite Australian poet, Jane Gibian, to SCEGGS to work with a small group of Year 6 and 7 students. The students will spend a day in Week 8 of Term 3 learning about poetry, writing and drafting their own pieces while also receiving feedback from Ms Gibian. Their work will be published by the school and considered for the Speech Night prize.\u00a0 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. Students may submit any pieces they have composed this year (including pieces they may have worked on in class or submitted for other competitions). \u00a0All entries must be submitted electronically by Friday 28\u00a0June. We look forward to reading your work!<\/p>\n
