Recently, Ana Faville in Yr13 was commended for her short story entry for the Sargeson Prize for the second year in a row.

First offered in 2019, the Sargeson Prize is New Zealand's richest short story prize, sponsored by the University of Waikato. Named for celebrated New Zealand writer Frank Sargeson, the Prize was conceived by writer Catherine Chidgey, who also lectures in Writing Studies at the University. Ana shows great promise as a writer and this is a wonderful achievement.
