On Thursday, June 20 the students, also known as the Super Scribes, gathered in the learning hub of the school at 8am to raise some much needed funds for research into childhood cancers.

The students, Cate, Tsitsi, Jack, Shannon, Kearah, Ashliegh, Billie-Rae, Charlotte and Jasmine spent the next 10 hours pooling their creative powers, brainstorming like crazy, and finally writing book that will be given to kids recovering from cancer treatments in hospitals around the country.

The competition gives the writing groups parameters they have to follow.

This year NHS had to have a journalist, a gymnast, a vampire, the setting had to include Kakadu and involve some buried treasure.

Well, you can imagine that took some figuring out, but the Super Scribes rose to the task and challenged each other to come up with nearly 5000 words that fit the outline.

All this brain work couldn't have been possible without the incredible generosity of Peter and the crew at IGA who catered for the whole day, bringing tasty snacks, drinks, meals, fruit and lollies to keep the engines ticking over for the day.

The NHS Super Scribes are still fundraising, if you would like to donate you can do so online at www.writeabookinaday.com.

Or if you're a bit more old-school but you would still like to help, visit the school office which is still accepting donations.
