I congratulate Eliza Bosganas, a student from Frenchs Forest Public School, on her outstanding achievement in being awarded a Gold Award in the prestigious NESA WriteOn 2025 competition. The annual competition encourages students from years 1 to 6 across New South Wales to showcase their creativity and storytelling skills. It serves as an important platform for young writers to explore their ideas, develop their voice and build confidence in their writing. This year's theme quote was "Could they be changing?" In response, Eliza wrote a beautiful poem about the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Eliza's award places her among the top young writers in the State and also means that she is now a published author at such a young age. I recognise the hard work, dedication and creativity she demonstrated in participating and producing such a wonderful piece of writing. It is a well-deserved award and a testament to Eliza's talent as a creative writer. I once again congratulate her and hope she continues to write and share her unique voice with the world. Well done.
