Book at St Columba's Catholic College Springwood

From authors and allegories to costumes and cakes, students at St Columba's College, Springwood, spent a week celebrating everything they love about reading and writing.

The festival of literature was an opportunity to share the joy of reading, explore different forms of writing, and pay tribute to book characters. The celebration culminated with a dress-up day, picnic lunch, and bookthemed cake competition.

Author Will Kostakis spent March 29 at the college conducting a workshop for gifted writers in years 8 to 11, who spent three hours crafting their own literary pieces. The college's Year 12 Extension English 2 students also worked with the author getting advice for their HSC works.

All money raised during the week will go to Project Compassion.

    We’re incredibly proud of our students who have received 177 early entry offers to university (so far)! These offers recognise them as capable, motivated learners who are well-prepared for university-level study. They’ve shown not only strong academic potential, but also leadership, resilience, and diverse strengths that reflect their readiness for the next chapter. This achievement also highlights our school’s commitment to guiding students toward success, providing a supportive learning environment where they’re encouraged to excel academically and grow personally. Congratulations to all our future university students - your hard work and determination have truly paid off!
