E-scéal 180 - Conference Programme "Creative Writing / Clustering SEN hours/ Conference"
- Published: 08 December 2008
Creative Writing for IPPN Annual Principals' Conference Programme
We are currently preparing the Conference 2009 programme which will be given to all Principals attending the event in Killarney. Following on from the success of the children's creative writing on the role of the Principal in last year's programme, this year we are planning to include examples of both your and your pupils' creative writing in the programme and we are looking for your help.
The suggestion is that you contribute a piece yourself - perhaps a short story, a poem, an essay - and possibly invite children in the middle to senior classes of your school to write a short, and if possible humorous, piece on their views of "Leadership" and what it means. Please note that this is not a competition and we are giving maximum freedom for the subject matter. We hope that the writing will offer a different and humorous insight into the subject. We will leave it entirely up to yourself and your teachers to decide which pieces are to be submitted from your school.
We look forward to receiving a few samples of your or your pupils' writing (with your/child's names, class and school name on each piece) no later than Friday 5th December 2008 to project@ippn.ie or by post to "IPPN Support Office", Glounthaune, Co. Cork.
Naturally if we have a significant number of contributions, only a few can be selected by the Conference Committee for this publication. Others may be used in future editions of Leadership+.
