Write a Book in a Day – Coming Soon!

On Tuesday, Week 10 (July 1st), our school will proudly take part in the annual Write a Book in a Day competition – a nationwide creative writing event that challenges students to write, illustrate, and submit a complete book in just half a day. From 8:00am to 7:00pm, over 300 of our students will collaborate in teams to craft imaginative stories based on specific parameters, all while raising money for childhood cancer research through the Kids' Cancer Project. It’s a fast-paced, fun and inspiring day where creativity, teamwork, and purpose come together.

With so many students involved, it’s important that all permission forms are submitted via Compass as soon as possible. The majority are finalised, so thank you for completing that quickly. Pizza orders for the day will also be finalised shortly, so students should complete the Form now. We’re excited to see the creative talent of our students shine in this epic one-day challenge – and we can’t wait to read the incredible stories they produce!
