Last Thursday on the 25th August, the Write a Book in a Day group spent 12 hours planning, writing, illustrating, editing and publishing an exciting narrative called ‘Coco’s Curse’ which was submitted to the Kids Cancer Project - Write a Book in a Day organisation. 

The book will go into a competition to be judged in the primary school category as well as distributed in the hospitals for kids with cancer to read and enjoy.  

The team of Summer, Jasmine, Natalie K, Alanna, Emma, Apaar, Douie, Ava, Jazz and Sienna spent the day collaboratively brainstorming, planning, illustrating, editing and publishing a story that required them to work within parameters that included certain characters, a setting, a problem and the addition of some random words.  

The group worked very well together and enjoyed their experience even though it was a long day. Pizza for dinner definitely helped to keep their creative juices flowing after such a long day. 

Part of this event was raising funds for the Kids with Cancer Project and we are immensely grateful to the Mary MacKillop community for their support in the Lucky Dip which was conducted earlier in that week.

We raised a grand total of $815.80 and we sincerely thank all the parents, teachers and students who were involved in the fund raiser. We know this money is going to a worthy cause!

Congratulations to the Write a Book in a Day students and the Mary MacKillop Community!
