WRiting Contest #1 - Poetry
With a new school year upon us, it can be comforting to slip into old routines: a consistent alarm in the morning, the shuffle between classes, the excitement at the end of the school day. The rhythms of the year invoking memories of holidays, festivals and celebrations of the past. Burgeoning new relationships get built on the foundations formed from birth.
Embracing change is brave but celebrating our past, cherishing our memories and understanding where we are from, honors those who have worked so hard to be where we are.
There is so much value, so much beauty, so much to hold onto about the world in which we live.
This year in our writing contest we explore how we are conserving the memories, moments, places, people, inspirations and ideas that have built us; the things we would like to honour and the things we would like to preserve.
