Judges, Dominiqe P and Felicity P-R (Year 12), literature enthusiasts themselves, were instrumental in organising the event and priming the participants. They were amply rewarded by a genuine dilemma in selecting prize winners. Felicity and Dominiqe announced their decision in a recent assembly.

Congratulations to prize winners:

1st - Dexter S-S

2nd - Matthew B

3rd - (Joint) Izzie K and James B

Commended:

  • Joanna F L
  • Agatha T
  • Lucy G

The event followed an inspiring assembly with the same theme in which teachers and students read and performed their personal favourites and own creative work. Recently deceased Benjamin Zephaniah and the magnificent Maya Angelou featured as well as a humorous and touching poem by Mr. Manning on his Grandma.
