Write A Book In A Day Competition

On the 24th of August, the GAT and AE English classes of Year 7-10 embarked on a remarkable objective; to write a book in 12 hours to support The Kid's Cancer Project. After a bustling 51 students bundled into the library full of excitement at the dauntingly early hour of eight o'clock, each group quickly buckled down and started to write.

Each team was given a set of criteria that they had to abide by, so that each book was completely unique in plot and design. As the groups worked, they drank hot chocolate and tea, with breaks only for food.

As each group worked in a different way to the next group, the library sounded like something akin to an office; much of the work being done was remarkably stressful for a high school project.

Throughout the day there was a constant sense of achievement, and when a chapter was finished or an illustration completed, cheers could be heard as the books came together.

As the time approached eight o'clock, the time at which each book had to be finished and printed, there was a flurry of activity, as printers and keyboards alike were furiously used, the last edits and final touches made to the book before they were finished.

By the time the pencils had been dropped and the laptops packed up, there was no denying that each group had done a remarkable job. Books of high quality with illustrations to match, sat on the desks in a manner that showed just how well each group had performed.

The honour being apart of such a great and important project is apparent in the quality of the work, and the day was a remarkable success.

Written by Davis.
