Year 9 LEAP – Write a Book in a Day
Taylors Lakes Secondary College
On the 27th of August, the Year 9 LEAP class undertook their Kids Cancer Council Write a Book in a Day incursion. Students have been fundraising across the year to raise money for children who are currently undergoing cancer treatment.
This fundraiser aims to provide financial support to families and pay for treatments while providing them with fresh reading material written by students around Australia.
The Year 9s wrote from 8am to 5pm, with a 5:30pm submission date. Each group was responsible for a 5,000-word novel and accompanying hand-illustrated front and back covers.
They conducted themselves in an exemplary manner throughout this incursion – students were highly dedicated and respectful despite the long day.
Many staff that visited across the day were highly impressed by student commitment to their novels and the professional manner in which students collaborated with each other.
If our students win, they have the potential to have their novels published in the State Library of Victoria, as well as hospitals around Australia.
If you’re interested in contributing to the fundraiser, the links will be active until the 30th of September – see below!
