This term, Carroll College is offering an extension opportunity for students interested in creative writing. ‘Write a Book in a Day’ is Australia’s most unique team writing challenge. Each year, thousands of writers around Australia take on this challenge which develops collaboration, creativity and time management skills. By supporting the Kids’ Cancer Project, ‘Write a Book in a Day’ also gives participants the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of kids with cancer through team fundraising.

This competition will require students to work in groups of 8-10 to construct a narrative of 3500-5000 words long during an extended school day. (8am-8pm) In addition to being sent for judging, this narrative will be printed, bound and sent to children’s wards in hospitals across the country.

Interested students are encouraged to submit an application by Friday, the 18August. The Google Classroom code required to do this is bbgvnzk.
