A weekend school for young writers in Christchurch

From Nine To Noon, 9:30 am on 8 August 2025

For more than 30 years, children and young people with a passion for writing have been able to attend a weekend school in Christchurch and have their talents nurtured by established writers.

At the moment  more than 100 young people between the ages of 6 and 18 devote two hours every Saturday to writing.

They also have the chance to have their work published in a magazine, Write On, produced by the charity running the school.  

Susie is joined by the Director of Write On, Heather McQuillan.
