Summer Memoir contest results

While the College celebrates its 50th Anniversary, we are collecting memories and accounts of the College’s growth and change. Last November, we invited College members to participate in our Summer Memoir creative writing contest to share their experiences, both their struggles and achievements, that link with the College and its 50 years of transformation.

We welcomed essays, short stories, poems or songs written in English, te reo Māori or any other language our members felt most comfortable using. Submissions were accepted until 20 January 2024 and then evaluated by the Editorial Team of GP Voice.
