Five students Kartika Pai Vernekar, Sagorika Mazumdar and Lionel Da Noronha, Julian D’Costa, Jude Sales participated in this competition, which was held in our school on Friday, 17th June 2011. The envelope containing the topics was opened in the presence of the contestants, who were given an hour to prepare and two hours to write their essays.
It was a difficult task to select the best two essays from the excellent and imaginative creative writing produced by the students. Finally, after much deliberation, the essays by Jude Sales, 9A and Julian D’Costa, 8A were sent as our entries.
