Sharing of creative writing was evident this week across the Year 7/8 campus, where our Year 5/6 students enjoyed reading about journeys taken on wakas, and the stories that unfold on these voyages.

What is creative writing?

As the name suggests, creative writing is a form of writing that goes beyond the traditional realms of normal, professional, academic or technical forms of writing.

Though the definition can be quite vague, creative writing can, for the most part, be considered as any type of writing that is original and expressive of oneself. Typically, it can be identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, focusing on elements such as character development, narrative and plot, infusing its structure with imagination, invention and story. 

Please read a great example of creative writing from one of our Year 7 students - Edith B-K.
