“Write-a-book-in-a-day” (WABIAD) project

 

This year seventeen students from Nossal High School in two teams will be involved in a very worthwhile project to raise funds for Kids Cancer Project.  The project is “Write-a-book-in-a-day.” Our students will be involved in the upper secondary division. 

 

The project will require the teams to plan and commence writing the book at 8:00am on a chosen day and finish writing, illustrating, and binding by at 8:00pm on the same day.  All stories will be written from a unique set if parameters provided for each team at the beginning of the day of writing. The completed books will be distributed to children aged between 10 and 16 who are patients in hospitals throughout Australia.

 

The project, while encouraging the students to display their creative talents, is also aimed at raising funds for the Kids Cancer Project.  One hundred percent of funds raised through sponsorship donations and other fund raising activities will be given to medical institutions nationwide for their research into children’s cancer.

 

The students will be involved in a number of fund raising activities as well as sponsorship drives for this project. We invite family and community support for this very worthwhile cause.
