Writing groups and holiday writing

Writing groups

We offer writing programs across the grade levels. Early years target sentence structure, punctuation and simple texts. Later years focus on creative writing and persuasion, preparing students for essay writing in high school and curriculum testing.

Holiday writing groups

For students in years 7 to 9. Narrative targets include plot structure, characters, settings and language techniques. Persuasive targets include text structure, building a strong argument and developing each paragraph.

Each school holidays at the Coolbellup clinic. Contact us for dates.
