The human mind is extraordinary in how it can imagine, create and innovate. The process of generating, selecting and ordering random ideas into coherent pieces of prose or poetry is an extraordinary feat. Using language to convey emotions and engender reader engagement is laudable. The pieces of writing selected for this year’s publication of Ringing Voices reveal the unique thinking and imagination of the minds of students from Years 5 to 12.
As you turn the pages of this anthology, you will be taken on an emotional journey, immersed in the world the writer has created through carefully selected words and phrases. Images will be evoked in your mind as the words awaken the senses of smell, sight, touch, sound, and taste.
Complementing the written word is an array of impressive student art. Each art piece also tells a story and seeks to take you on a visual journey.
