Congratulations Year 7 student, Michael Jales

10/09/2020Sarah Milford

We are very proud of Year 7 student, Michael Jales, recently winning the Alex Rider short story writing competition. The story was chosen as the winner by Anthony Horowitz, author of the bestselling Alex Rider series, as recently covered by The Geelong Advertiser.

The competition was open to all students in Australia and New Zealand. Michael’s prizes include an ebook of his story, a signed letter from Anthony Horowitz, a scooter, and books for himself and the College.

Anthony Horowitz was extremely impressed by Michael’s story, “This is my favourite of the stories I was sent from Australia. The writer obviously knows the Alex Rider books very well. I liked the references to Malagosto and to the smallpox vaccine being delivered from China…and of course the last sentence was music to my ears. The writer also knows how to maintain tension – the story opens with what is almost a camera shot: the car parked, the boot open, the muzzle of a gun poking out. I enjoyed meeting Edgar Kartal and thought he was dispatched with just the right amount of violence. Well done!” Anthony Horowitz wrote.

The Alex Rider series is estimated to have sold 19 million copies worldwide. The competition was run to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Alex Rider series and a new book. Well done Michael!

Website Design and Development

Graphic design and sourcing professional help can make the difference when putting together outward facing materials. While there are many programs and web apps that can make things “appear professional” paying someone who knows industry software will make it allot of difference and give you peace of mind when promoting your brand.
