Grant for writing

St John the Baptist Primary School, Woy Woy, has been successful in applying for a $1000 National Literacy and Numeracy Week grant.

The school was the only school in the Broken Bay Diocese that was successful in gaining a grant for National Literacy and Numeracy Week.

The purpose of the grant is to develop gifted writers in Years 5 and 6.

St John's school teacher Ms Katreena Fernandes said the school will use the $1000 grant to purchase resources to develop the skills of children who have a flair for writing.

Children will attend special writing classes for two hours a week throughout term three.
