ANGLICARE Pens Against Poverty Writing Competition
St Patrick's Year 6 student Henry Hindmarsh attended an awards ceremony last week (Tuesday 15th October) to receive a Highly Commended Award for his poem "Courage in Kindness".
Henry's class entered short stories and poems into Anglicare's annual writing competition Years 3-10 which takes in schools from Canberra and Southern NSW. Henry entered the Upper Primary division and was awarded the Highly Commended Award for that division.
Henry and his parents Belinda and Peter attended Government House in Yarralumla to receive his award off His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley. Henry was in awe of the sheer size of Government House and the sweeping yard that backed onto Lake Burley Griffin.
The entire school and Henry's class teacher Mrs Lisa Wilson are so very proud of his writing achievement and were thrilled to have another student two years in a row receive this honour.
