Winners of The Hibiscus Coast Writers Competition 2013

We have the winners!!

But, first some feedback from the judges:

Thank you to ALL the children who gave it a go!  Our task as judges was extremely difficult this year as there were many excellent entries. 

-          However, some very well written Fiction pieces were incomplete, ie: great intro and body, but no ending.

-          A few of the Non Fiction pieces were more like reports and not personal experiences, as the rules stipulated.

-          The standard of the Poetry was very good.
