The Realms Writing Competition has been an absolute pleasure to run in 2021. Though disrupted by the unanticipated return of lockdowns, the competition made it through the year and we set a new record for the amount of writing received. To the somewhat challenging theme of Conspiracy, the judges and I became very familiar with the demises of JFK and Harold Holt. Many ventured far beyond this however, and the competition received dystopian fiction, and the outlining of conspiracies as close as the CGS Latin Department. All entries were tremendously enjoyable to read, and the students are to be commended on their command of the English language and their imagination. I would especially like to thank Hieu Tran (Year 11) for his sound judgement and advice, along with both presiding staff members, Mrs Renieris and Mr Allen, for their adept, erudite, and most skillful conducting of this competition. My final imploration must be to all students to add their name to their work, as instructed, and to spell it correctly.
