Term Three's busy competitions schedule has proved to be successful for The Forest High School's diligent and capable English students. Write 4 Fun! announced that The Forest High School has 10 student entries who are progressing into the next round of their writing competition for 2015. Write for Fun! recognised the Forest High School with a Certificate of Excellence for outstanding writing. The competition received over 9000 entries, so this award is a real 'feather in the cap' for our students.
Write 4 Fun! participants L-R Megan Huston, Madelyn Shaw, Angela Brillantes
