What's Happening
MY BROTHER JACK AWARDS
On Sunday 30th September, Mrs Spataro and I had the privilege of attending the Glen Eira Concil’s ‘My Brother Jack’ awards for outstanding short story and poetry writing. Two of our talented students, Jasper (6B) who wrote the poem, ‘Depression’ and Kian (6C) who wrote the poem, ‘Head In The Clouds’ were shortlisted from a large number of entries. They both received Highly Commended awards in the Primary Poetry Category, recognising the high quality and creativity of their poetry writing - congratulations Jasper and Kian, we are so proud of you both and they way you brought your ideas to life on the page.
In the words of the judge, Ozlem Baro:
“Depression - An incredibly accurate representation of depression and the many different ways it can affect a person. Beautiful, evocative and very well written.”
“Head in the Clouds - A sweet and creative poem about what it is like to daydream while life continues on. This wholesome moment was wonderfully captured.”
We can’t wait to see where you take your writing in the future!
