The annual Kalinda Poetry and Story-writing competition & anthology! 

Each year, Kalinda students from grades 2-6 are invited to write a poem or a story relating to the Book Week theme. This year, that theme is Book an Adventure! 

All entries will be published in our annual Kalinda Anthology - a book filled with the funny, clever, interesting, thoughtful, rich, and downright adventurous writing of our spectacular students.

Each piece of writing this year must touch on the theme of adventure, or reading/books. Winning entries from each year level will win a prize to take home.

All entries must be submitted by Friday 22nd August - winners will be announced on the final day of Book Week.
