Write Creatively is a writing workshop that aims to build the confidence of young writers, developing their creativity, literacy and personal voice. Students explore different writing techniques and styles, learn to ā€˜read like a writerā€™ by reading and drawing inspiration from the work of well-known (and not so well-known) writers; learn to embrace the drafting process and to critique their own and othersā€™ work.

Ā 

In any given semester the creative writing teacher will choose from a range of units, including: genre writing, prose fiction, poetry, journalism, creative non-fiction, script writing (for stage and/or screen) and the Independent Project (IP), where a student nominates the focus and nature of their own writing project.Ā 

Ā 

Students are encouraged to enter School and other writing competitions and to submit to publications. Students work with visiting writers as the opportunity arises, for example, via our writer-in-residence program. Write Creatively also prepares students for those components of pre-tertiary English study which require creative and persuasive written responses and specifically for the demands and expectations of TCE English Writing Level 3.
