Students listening to author Diana Anyakwo's inspiration, in November 2024

Year 10 Workshop with Author Diana Anyakwo ( Published: 08/11/2024)

Students took part in a creative writing workshop with a published author, exploring identity through fiction writing.

Year 10 students used inspiration from Dean Atta’s poem, ‘I Come From’, and created their own poems expressing their identity. They also began to create stories, drawing on their own understanding of identity and personal experiences to shape their characters.

We’d like to say a big thank you to Diana, for coming in to support our students with their creative writing.
