One of the things that Senior School is looking to focus on this year is to increase the level of which our student work is being presented within the college as well as throughout the community. This is so that we can praise our peers at a college level but also show the community some of the fantastic abilities Mount Annan Christian College students have at their disposal. One really good way to achieve this is through entries into the various local and state wide competitions. Not only do you have the opportunity to win prizes but constant writing will help you further develop your abilities, abilities that you will need for the only compulsory HSC subject: English.
The first one is Write4Fun. This is a fantastic competition that provides some really appealing incentives. You choose whether to write a short story or poetry and the prizes are impressive, an Xbox 360 as an example.

The closing date of this competition is the end of March so you will need to act quickly. If you miss out though, they will most likely be running a second competition during Semester Two. Our college has had some success in this competition in recent years with a number of students short listed for the finalists.
The other writing competition going at the moment is one run by the Whitlam Institute. This competition is closing in May so you have a bit more time to get an entry in.

As well as writing competitions, there are a number of local History competitions running at the moment. For further information about all of these see Mr Simpson.
Have a great weekend and get writing!
