The Headmaster Caterina Policaro declares:
“I am truly proud and happy to be able to say that our institute participated in an important way, with various classes of the “Health and social assistance services” address, in the literary competition by sending 19 stories of different genres and 6 poems .
In terms of number of works sent, we are the second school among those participating. It’s not a little!
All the compositions written by the students, at the end of the review, will also be published in the Amabili Confini anthology.
The recognition obtained is certainly a source of pride and great satisfaction for our school.
Among the tasks of a school principal there is also the pleasant one of always encouraging teachers to find the “talents” we have in our classes and to “dare” to participate in activities such as a literary competition, in which the ability to express oneself and telling, in addition to being good for the writer from a skills point of view, gives a lot of self-esteem to girls and boys.
For the narrative section, romance genre, in addition to the winner of the competition Aurora Mastrosabato, the students Mary Carlucci and Giulia Vetere of 3B SSAS, with the stories “A love destined to live forever” and “The strength of love” and Giorgia Mansueto of 3C SSAS with the story “The first love”.
