Thank you to everyone who supported THE GREAT KIWI WRITE OFF: teachers, parents, students, judges, prize sponsors and all those who encouraged students to enter.

We cannot thank the community enough for getting behind The Great Kiwi Write Off. We know how busy everyone is so it is amazing that so many of you squeezed the competition into your hectic schedules.
We sincerely THANK YOU for nurturing tomorrow’s creative minds.
What Teachers say.
“Thanks so much for the opportunity for these kids. They have been excited about it ever since I told them about it.” Sepa Tala’imanu, The Gardens School, Christchurch.
“The competition helped students organise their ideas and made writing much less overwhelming.” Mehwish Hasan, Year 6 Teacher and Science Curriculum Leader, ACG Sunderland.
“The Great Kiwi Write Off was a wonderful opportunity for students to confidently develop their creative writing skills. Each age category had two picture prompts to choose from, or they could independently write their own story using their own ideas. This provided an inspirational space for our creative students as well as engaging reluctant writers.”
Sophie Aindow, teacher from St. Thomas More Catholic School in Mt. Maunganui.
An especially big thank you to the students who took the time to write their entries. We’ve seen some inspirational writing.
