πŸ† Celebrating Our Literary Star: James J. Wins β€˜The 100’ Competition!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that James J. has been named a winner in the prestigious OFG ‘The 100’ competition!

The judges faced the difficult task of selecting just one standout entry from each school, and James’s work rose to the very top. His winning piece was chosen for its creativity and flair, and we couldn’t be prouder of his achievement.

πŸ“– Coming Soon to a Bookshelf Near You

As a reward for this success, James’s entry will be officially published in ‘The 100’ book later this year.

  • School Copies: The school will receive a copy to keep in our library for all students to enjoy.
  • A Personal Keepsake: James will be presented with his very own copy of the book to keep.
  • Summer Launch: The organisers are aiming to have the book published before the end of the summer term.

πŸŽ“ A Moment of Celebration

James has been awarded an official certificate to mark this milestone. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the students who took part; the quality of entries was a true testament to the talent we have here at our school.

“The judges had such a difficult (but very enjoyable) job deciding their favourite entry… it has been such a pleasure to organise.” β€” The OFG Judging Panel

Please join us in giving James a huge round of applause for this fantastic literary achievement! πŸ‘πŸ“š
