Wollemi Wins Pens Against Poverty

Yoav N, Year 6 Primary Vice-Captain, recently won first prize out of 400 applicants nationwide in the Years 5/6 short story category for The Pens Against Poverty writing competition!

He wrote a short story on a young boy's encounter with a homeless person. Yoav wrote about this topic because he believes homeless people deserve safety, including shelter and food. He received a letter from Pens Against Poverty along with a book and a $50 Dymocks card.

The Pens Against Poverty is a unique writing competition for school students in Years 3 – 10 that encourages teachers and students to become educated in the important issues of poverty and homelessness in our communities in Australia.

The Wollemi community is indeed very proud of his achievement!
