Three winning writers at The Laurels

What talented writers we have in our midst here at The Laurels! Girls throughout school entered the ISA Essay Competition, and three of our students were successful in the national annual competition for private schools.

Helenka came first in the Max Gate category for her short story about a girl alone in a caravan. The judge commented, ‘I was left wanting to read more from this talented student’.

Samar’s personal essay reflecting poignantly on stances in society was highly commended in the Favonius category.

Christina, our new Head Girl, came second in the Sixth Form English and Linguistics Category with her short story. Judges praised her scene setting and pacing.

Congratulations to Helenka, Samar and Christina! As a small school, we are very proud of such success in a national competition.
