The Character Code

In Semester One, 2026, we’re diving into Arcs & Archetypes — the timeless patterns that shape stories everywhere, from ancient myths to your favourite modern adventures. Young writers will create unforgettable characters, and learn how stories grow: twisting, remixing and reinventing along the way to craft tales that feel completely their own.
Full-semester writers will also get the chance to submit their work to a brand-new digital publication at the end of Term One! It’s an epic call to adventure where imagination rules, creativity grows, and every young writer discovers the storyteller waiting inside them.
Read the Submission Guidelines.
