After a marathon 12 hours of planning, writing, editing and illustrating, our biggest ever Write a Book in Day (WABIAD) event came to an end at 8pm last Tuesday.
Students did a fantastic job and we are delighted to share their work with you below.
Their books will be made available in a digital library and distributed to children undergoing medical treatment in hospitals across Australia.
Write a Book in a Day promotes literacy, collaboration and creativity and is run by The Kids’ Cancer Project
Each team has also been given the added challenge of meeting a fundraising target of $240 through sponsorship to support childhood cancer research.
You can support them by making a donation using the links below. Fundraising will remain open until 30 September.
Here's what Year 12 Melton students Tra My and Alanis had to say about WABIAD.
Last Tuesday, students from both campuses participated in WABIAD, an experience where we were given 12 hours to draft, illustrate and produce a novel to raise funds for kids’ cancer research.
WABIAD has definitely been a highlight in our senior year, working together for a great cause! We laughed, we cried, we contemplated a Gen Z magpie diva's ability to hack into a computer mainframe, in our story Riches and Treasures and Gold and to worked together to support a great initiative.
We collected rave reviews as we performed a skit of our book to each of the other teams, some saying "I want to see it as a stage show" and "100 out of ten - but unrealistic".
Having participated in WABIAD for the last four years, each time is a unique experience. It's an amazing chance to not only support a great cause but also collaborate with friends and celebrate our peers as talented writers and illustrators.
It allows us to unleash creativity beyond the work we would do in a classroom setting - and the abundance of lollies and pizza that the amazing staff provide throughout the day is a bonus.
Overall, participating in WABAID has given us something to look forward to each year as we traverse through the dreaded test-heavy Term 3. We encourage all students to band their friends together and participate next year!
