INKLINGS BLOG

Students in Years 6 & 7 have been attending lunchtime clubs in the library on Wednesdays and Thursdays all year (covid permitting...). Our Wednesday club was for budding writers. We have created a website containing excerpts or full stories and invite you to read them. The beautiful banner was hand-drawn by Micaela Altman in Year 6, 2021.
