And the gold award goes to......

Tom Hardwick has been announced as one of just three Stage 2 gold award winners in the Board of Studies Write On competition which attracts entries from all over the state from both public and private schools. For the competition, schools were asked to select just one outstanding entry from each stage to submit for judgement. Students were given a stimulus picture, in this case a lighthouse, to spark their creative juices and they then had 500 words to write either a description, narrative or persuasive text. Tom's award winning narrative can be viewed by clicking on the link below. There is also a link to the Board of Studies website where you can view the other winning entries.

Tom will be attending a ceremony at the Fairfax Media Ltd offices later in the month to receive his award.
