Writing Awards

Every year the English faculty in conjunction with the Dunhelen team hold the Dunhelen Writing Awards. Students from Years 7 – 9 are able to submit their own piece of writing; pieces that they have written during the course of the year in English can be also submitted by other students and teachers. Thank you to all of those who entered a piece. It was great to see such wonderful, imaginative writing was created in our English classrooms.
