Write a Book in a Day

On Monday 29 July, 35 Year 8 students participated in the Write a Book in a Day competition, fundraising for the Kids' Cancer Project, supporting childhood cancer research. Students worked in teams and were given 12 hours to write, edit, illustrate, review and print a 4,000-5,000 word novel suitable for children aged 10-16.

Providing opportunities for students to write for an authentic purpose is a great motivator and embraces our school ethos of Giving Back to the Community.

The task commitment, effort and team cooperation shown by the students involved was outstanding. They are to be commended on the stories they produced and their fundraising efforts.
