The presentation of awards and certificates to Krambach and Manning primary school entrants in the 2023 'Tell Me A Story Competition' was kindly hosted by St Clare's High School on Friday, 11 August 2023.

Over 250 participants, their siblings, proud parents and even prouder grandparents viewed story compositions and illustrations on display in the Josephite Centre.  They were appreciative of the generosity of the school and impressed with the facilities on offer at St Clare's.

'Tell Me A Story' offers students from Year 3 to Year 6 through the Manning-Great Lakes with the opportunity to write stories, illustrate them and have their creations published in a bound book which they can purchase.  Another presentation for Nabiac and Great Lakes Schools will be held at Tuncurry Hall on Friday, 25 August 2023.

With over 200 stories and 200 illustrations, this year has seen three separate books produced - Manning Schools, Great Lakes Schools, and Krambach-Nabiac Schools. 

Every entrant received a certificate and feedback to encourage and assist them in improving their creative skills.
