New York Times writing competition – The International School @ ParkCity (ISP) Finalist

In September last year, students from The International School @ ParkCity (ISP) Years 7 to 11 were tasked in their English lessons, with writing a response to this question: ‘Is digital technology disrupting our life and values, or is it creating new ways of living?’.

Forty four students from ISP submitted entries to the competition! Each student has received a certificate from The New York Times, congratulating them on their entry. Yet, one Year 9 student went beyond receiving a certificate.

Isabelle was shortlisted as one of the finalists! She has had her article, entitled ‘How the Internet is Affecting People’s Awareness and Mental Health’, published in The New York Times’ booklet of shortlisted entrants. This is a fantastic achievement given that over 900 students from 20 countries entered the competition. Well done Isabelle!
