PY English Writing Contest

On Tuesday, February 27th 2024,, the PY English Department proudly hosted Concordian’s very first PY English Writing Contest. The contest aimed to encourage students to take pride in their English writing skills, showcase their abilities, and inspire others through their passion for learning English.

The theme, 'Festival of Stories', invited Grade 1 to Grade 5 students to immerse themselves in a world of imagination as they wrote a narrative story based on a picture prompt. Students had one hour to plan, write and edit their story.

Following the contest, our English homeroom teachers and ELS teachers diligently assessed each story based on specific grade-level rubrics, evaluating story structure, story development, and use of appropriate language conventions.

Winners were announced on Friday, March 15th, at the PY Flag Raising Ceremony, allowing students to celebrate their achievement with their teachers, peers, and parents in the following categories:

The Class Excellent Writer Award - 1st place in the class

The Class Great Writer Award - 2nd place in the class

The Grade Level Excellent Writer Award - 1st place in the grade level

The Grade Level Great Writer Award - 2nd place in the grade level

We are incredibly proud of each student who participated in the writing contest. We hope to continue inspiring our students to develop their English writing skills and sharing their creativity with others.
