Poets in their element
08 February 2019
Keen writers across Senior School are encouraged to enter the Senior School Poetry competition. This year’s topic is the four elements - earth, water, air, fire - although poems need not necessarily include all four.
The deadline for entries is Friday 1 March 2019 and with half term on the horizon this means that writers will have plenty of time to get creative.
There is a prize for winning entries - see outline of the competition below - and the winners will be invited to participate in a special event in the library alongside an invited Guest Speaker.
We hope that lots of pupils will enter this competition. Good luck to all!
