ISB Writers Excel In 2006 Competition

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Primary students of International School of Brunei (ISB) were recently delighted to celebrate the writing success of two members of their community.

India Nathan and Jeffrey King entered the 2006 Royal Commonwealth Society writing competition in March and were rewarded for their efforts with a special award of commendation from the Society.

`Write Around The World' is organised each year by the Royal Commonwealth Society and a large number of schools from all over the Commonwealth participate.

Six thousand entries from 1,350 schools show that last year was no exception.

The aims of the competition are to encourage a higher standard of writing amongst children and also to allow children to participate in a global project.

Academic and social success is often based upon writing and good communication skills and these are promoted at ISB through its Literacy Programmes.

Both students chose the topic '... and that is why I didn't go to school' and are eager to enter the competition again this year. All details for the competition can be found on the Royal Commonwealth Society website.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
