In a remarkable literary achievement, 21 talented students from a single Year 9 English class at CRHS have been chosen to have their poems published in the upcoming book, 'Power of Poetry.' The students, guided by their inspirational English teacher, participated in the 'Power of Poetry' competition organised by Young Writers. Recognising the significance of this feat, Young Writers applauded the school, stating that having all students' work selected is a rare and noteworthy accomplishment. With a mission to inspire creativity and foster a love for writing and reading among children and young adults, Young Writers believes this achievement holds even greater significance today, as attention spans and reading for pleasure decline in adolescence. Each student has been awarded a certificate and a letter for their parents, and they will soon hold a tangible testament to their accomplishment—a copy of the published book, 'Power of Poetry.'
The literary triumph of these Year 9 students at CRHS is truly commendable. Out of numerous submissions to the 'Power of Poetry' competition, the fact that all 21 students from a single class had their work selected is a testament to their talent and dedication. This accomplishment is a source of immense pride for the school and serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering a creative and nurturing environment for young writers.
Young Writers, the organisation behind the 'Power of Poetry' competition, is dedicated to inspiring and empowering children and young adults to explore the realms of creative writing and reading. They understand the declining attention spans and waning interest in literature among adolescents and consider their mission of utmost importance. By recognising and publishing the work of students, Young Writers aims to reinforce the significance of creative expression, encouraging more young minds to engage with literature and discover the power of the written word.
