         assessment of the key literacies required by all pupils exiting

         the primary school system. A major component of the CPEA

         The CPEA  Story Writing Competition was conceptualised to
                                                  TM
         provide  pupils  participating  in  the  CPEA   an  opportunity  to
         create  stories  that  would  be  read  by  a  regional  audience  of
         their  peers.  The  project  is  aimed  at  identifying  short  stories,
         written by pupils, which can be used as reading materials by
         other pupils. By providing pupils with an authentic audience for
         their  stories,  they  will  become  more  motivated  to  write.
         Additionally, this activity provides an avenue to unearth pupils
         writing potentials and talents.
