Throughout the year students in VCE Literature at MLMC are encouraged and directed towards the many amazing opportunities and competitions open to them to support their creative writing projects across Victoria and Australia. Many of the Literature students are prolific creative writers in their spare time and actively work to develop their craft. The skills that students draw on for producing creative artefacts whether they be, short stories, memoirs or poetry, are essential when encountering, interpreting and constructing texts on an analytical level — a skill all good bookworms need.
Two MLMC Year 11 Literature students are in the running for the prize pool offered in the Write4Fun’s 'The Write Note' poetry and short story competition. Write4fun has been encouraging student writers and artists with fantastic competitions since 1997, they also publish top-quality books and conduct interactive writing workshops across Australia.
Literature students Jas Knight (Year 11 Bronze) and Kye Arnot (Year 10 Purple) (both pictured) are in the running for the top prize — $500 cash and a choice of a $500 Rebel gift card, Nintendo Switch, Apple iPad or a PlayStation 4. Both Jas’ short story, The Unexplainable Heart, and Kye’s poem, Loving an Addict, are being published in the Write4Fun creative works anthology which is comprised of the strongest pieces submitted by students across Australia. Well done to both of them. We look forward to hearing about more successful submissions from these two budding authors in the future.
If your child is interested in entering creative writing competitions, please ask them to come and speak to me. There will be plenty of opportunities to enter competitions throughout the year.
