Congratulations class of 2022 alumni Leonard Dowling, he was acknowledged last month at the NSW State Library for his extraordinary achievement in English Extension 2 for his work, ‘Thou Art Powerful’. He says, ‘One moment I most loved was the truly ‘young writers’ classes 1-6, who each wrote beautifully crafted short stories. One young boy wrote a story about a camel revolt amongst the Bedouin tribes in 1913. It was written so eloquently and in a perfectly uncomplicated style. It was inspiring to be in the presence of so much creativity, from people my age down to six years old. Congratulations to everybody that devoted hours to the often-unsteady labour of shaping stories, I’m sure I’ll be seeing many of these faces again in the future.’
