Year 8 Book Week Competition

Creativity in Connect

During Connect, Year 8 students participated in a Book Week Competition where they had an opportunity to write a short story, design an alternate book cover, digitally or hand drawn, or write a book review.

Short Story

1st: Amalia Loveday - Winter Nights

"It's dark. The kind of dark that means you can barely see your hands or the street in front of you. The kind of dark that makes everything seem evil, creatures waiting just beyond sight."

2nd: Zara Langmead - Trapped in a Room 

"Then all of a sudden I felt a hand wrap it’s way around me and if there was any light you would see that all the colour drained from my face and was replaced with pure terror"
