The 2022, Realms Writing and Arts Competition has been more than a delight to run this year. Along with the amazing pieces of writing that were submitted, the new addition of an ‘Arts’ component has allowed students to display their unique and creative abilities surrounding this year’s theme of ‘Deception’. To this somewhat challenging theme, both the judges and I have become very well versed after indulging ourselves into many stories of the Trojan Horse and spies at work. However, some students delved even deeper, with some exploring the duplicitous nature of relationships and identity whilst others highlighted the often ambiguous life choices and their unfortunate consequences. The ability for students to visually echo their thematic ideas was also greatly appreciated, providing an intriguing depiction of such deceiving machinations. All entries were a pleasure to read and the students are to be greatly commended for their creativity, imagination and command of the English language. A special thanks to Mrs Renieris and her endless enthusiasm and passion for organizing the competition and also to Mr Allen, for his sound and adept judgement on the pieces submitted.
