THE BAYLEY BULLETIN
HIGH SCHOOL CONTESTS
Seton high school students are famously creative. They’re achievers, and more often than
not, good at what they turn their attention to.
That’s why in 2015, Seton started up the quarterly contests and challenges, to provide an
outlet that encourages students to express their creativity, connect with each other and
make their high school journey more enjoyable.
From short stories, to articles, to sonnets, and future contests featuring artwork
and video, Seton high school students can try their skills at entering the contests.
Apart from the fun of flexing mental muscles, students gain real life experiences in
crafting entries according to guidelines, submitting their content and learning from
counselors’ feedback.
Seton staff occasionally provide tutorials and supplementary content to help students
craft their winning entry. Finalists are featured in the
Bayley Bulletin
magazine, and
awarded prize monies for their efforts. Starting in 2016, each high school grade features a
1st and 2nd place winner, so there’s plenty of opportunities to win!
Most of all, we want students to enjoy high school. It’s already a challenge, and through
these fun contests (that will only keep getting better!), we will fill up our collective trove
of inspiration for ourselves, and future high school students.
