Two of CPC’s students’ submissions to InCITE, the literary journal for CIS Ontario schools, received special recognition in their respective grade bands this year. The topic of this year’s journal was fan fiction.
Georgia Gardner (’19) submitted a short story, Cutting the Strings, narrated whereby Cinderella dumps the Prince and begins speed-dating. Hilarity ensues. In addition to having her piece printed in the journal, Georgia has been invited to participate in a student writing workshop at the upcoming CITE conference at MacLachlan College.
Kathryn Tuns (’21) submitted a short story titled, The Wait, whereby she retold Chapter 21 of To Kill a Mockingbird from the perspective of Aunt Alexandra– it was sensitive and insightful and beautifully written. Like Georgia, Katie has been invited to participate in the workshop, but she has also been asked to perform a public reading of her piece at the conference– a big honour!
Well done ladies!
