Parallax is the school’s student-run literary and arts journal. We publish student creative writing, poetry, photography, and art annually. All contributors to our sixth edition will receive a Parallax badge and become published authors/artists before leaving high school!
Our theme this year is ‘Trick of the Light’, and we encourage you to take inspiration from this, as well as our weekly prompts posted on our Google Classroom (twik52i) and our Instagram (@parallax.literary).
Please send all journal submissions before 31 July to our email ([email protected]). This is an excellent opportunity to share your creative work with the broader school community and pick up a new extracurricular for your report or CV.
