An essential aspect of encouraging students to express themselves creatively, is the opportunity for their work to be published. The ECP Times is a monthly paper to which any student may submit articles. It is supported by the Journalism Club and its members are encouraged to contribute on a regular basis. Money raised from the sale of the paper goes towards a charity chosen by the student-led editorial team. Each year, the library runs the annual COBIS poetry competition and a short story competition. All the entries for these competitions are published in an annual Literary Journal. In addition, students are encouraged to submit their own artwork, poetry or creative writing throughout the year. This provides a wonderful opportunity for students to share their creative work with one another and the wider world. All students who contribute work to the journal receive a free copy.
