Literacy Matters

All things Literacy, because Literacy matters in all things

Mrs McKelvie and Mrs Brennan recently ran the WRITE A BOOK IN A DAY competition for interested students from Year 7 and Year 8, and what a fabulous day it was!

On the morning of the competition each group was assigned a unique set of parameters outlining characters, setting, key words and the issue to include. Students worked in teams to plan, write, edit and illustrate a book in a day.

The students worked collaboratively with extraordinary passion, positivity and skill to successfully complete their task. The library was abuzz with enthusiasm from 8am until 8pm and students then had the opportunity to submit their finished books and proudly share their success with parents.

Congratulations to all students involved. Please enjoy these images of students exploring their literary and illustrative skills during this creative team writing competition. The illustrated books the students created will become part of the reading material available for students in the college library.
