“A word after a word after a word is power.”
Margaret Atwood

The Emanuel School Writers’ Awards were held in the Lehrer Family Building (MPH) on Monday 6 November. Students were recognised on the night for the high quality of their writing throughout the year, with their work displayed around the MPH. Their works included essays, short stories, feature articles, book reviews, poetry and even one short film. On the night, two winners were chosen from each year group – a Most Dedicated Writer and a Writer of the Year. Our Most Dedicated Awards go to the students who have worked to improve their writing or who have shown great consistency in their writing this year. Our Writer of the Year awards go to those students who have produced the most consistently excellent writing this year.
