EVOLV3
18 of HIS Secondary's most impressive writers took part in a dynamic creative writing EVOLV3 workshop on Saturday 27th February.
With the end goal of being entered for the BSME creative writing competition, each student made a start on completing a short story inspired by the versatile theme of 'RISK'.
We started off with an opportunity to experience risk-taking, and the consequences that follow, with an energetic, and highly competitive, version of 'The Million Pound Drop' which led into a wide range of potential story ideas being collaboratively explored.
Students were then introduced to some challenging and sophisticated writing techniques such as zoomorphism and semantic field and encouraged to try and incorporate them within their stories before we stopped for a well-earned break and lovely creative writing afternoon tea. The next phase was to make a start and begin the writing process for their short stories. They were encouraged to get comfy, get creative and start writing within the ambient, calm yet purposeful environment that had been created for them.

Horizon International School's EVOLV3 Creative Writing Session: Fostering Young Authors
At the end of the session some students shared their opening paragraphs with the group. The initial stages of these stories sound incredible, and the creativity, imagination and skill demonstrated throughout the day was truly inspirational; we have some budding writers in the making at HIS!
I would like to personally thank our highly skilled staff Mrs Gilhooley and Miss Reilly for planning this rewarding session and creating such a lovely environment and atmosphere for the students throughout the day. The session was very well thought through from start to finish and the monthly value of kindness was clearly represented with the goody bags and extra little finishing touches, which helped create a memorable and special day for the students involved.
The judges are now eagerly awaiting the final entries due later in March where we will announce the prize winners and those students who will be put forward to represent the school in the BSME Competition.
Once all the stories are completed, we will be producing our first EVOLV3 Short Stories book including all the students work which we look forward to being able to share with you all later in the year.
