SU&W – Show Up and Write sessions are safe spaces to gather and grow healthy writing habits so you can do the thing you love (or need) to do!  

Did you know gathering together to write can boost focus, motivation and creativity?   

Inspired by the global community Shut Up & Write!  we're hosting a sensory-friendly, inclusive writing space for teens to Show Up and Write! 

You can work on any writing task:

  • creative projects
  • study assignments
  • life admin tasks you've been avoiding!  

SU&W session format will be simple:

  • check-in
  • quiet, focused writing time
  • check-out

To keep the words flowing, you'll be gently guided by the Pomodoro Technique, cycles of writing sprints, breaks and creative prompts. 

Bring your own writing projects and preferred stationary and/or device.  

Sessions run during school terms only. For high school ages 12-17.

Bookings not required.

        

Please note that a responsible parent / carer should accompany participants while they are attending our programs.

Parents / carers are responsible for their welfare as well as monitoring and regulating their behaviour.
