This year, the English department once again ran the OHS Creative Writing Competition, receiving many amazing examples of student work.

While the winners and runners-up will be formally acknowledged soon, it is exciting to share that Zeva O’Sullivan and Alex Johnson, who were awarded first place in the Junior and Senior categories respectively, have had their work published by Tearaway magazine.

Their pieces can be read here:

Congratulations to them both for this wonderful achievement!
