Your Voice
Your Voice is a collaborative literacy program between Loreto Toorak and Xavier College and is open to interested students in Year 5 – 12. Our two schools bring together aspiring writers, poets, artists, musicians and actors to participate and contribute to this cross-school, cross-age initiative. Students select from a suite of rich workshops with a creative focus that allows for deep reflection and creativity.
The purpose of this collaboration is to provide students from both schools the opportunity to develop and express their creative skills and present their perspective on the chosen topic through a preferred creative outlet. Students select to participate in Your Voice program individually, or collaboratively on a joint submission.
Student work is published in a commemorative book and all students have the chance to participate in a Performance Evening to present their creative works.
