Get your creativity flowing by exploring some of the star forms of creative writing, focusing each week on a different area of fiction or creative non-fiction.
DurationDescription
How often have you said, ‘I wish I could write’? There are many different kinds of writing. Starting is easy so why not give it a go by joining this creative writing ‘tasting plate’.
Each week we’ll focus on a different area of fiction or creative non-fiction. By the end of the programme, you’ll have tried your hand at writing a short story, a narrative poem, a travel memoir, a personal essay drawing from your life, an interview article, a story for children, a short film script and a piece of historical fiction.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
• Create works of fiction
• Develop creative non-fiction text
• Explore the natural inner spirit of writing
• Discover your unique writer’s voice
• Reflect on your own experiences in writing
• Investigate different writing strategies
• Discover where your personal writing passions sit and what works for you.
Bring pen and paper or a laptop.
This course is designed to help you improve your skills, to develop your unique writer's voice and to encourage you to take risks on the page.
It is not a course where you'll be asked to read your work out loud, critique other writers work, or hand in your writing to the tutor. This is a safe place where you will be supported to do what writers do best - write.
Note:
Courses need a minimum number to go ahead so if we don't have enough enrolments a few days before the start date, we have to cancel. We'll let you know by email so please check yours regularly.
Night school, evening classes, adult community education (ACE) – whatever you call it, people coming to their local secondary school after hours to learn together is a New Zealand tradition. Maybe they’re returning to learning, want to gain new skills and confidence, meet new people, keep mentally active, follow a particular passion or become more involved in their community – there are lots of reasons why people want to continue to learn. In this digital age, there’s a wide range of opportunities available for on-going study but getting together with a group of like-minded people to learn something new is hard to beat.
The Wellington High School Community Education Centre (CEC) is always looking for people with great skills to share their knowledge and experience with others and need talented, empathetic and inspirational tutors to deliver courses for adults and whanau. The following information will tell you more about the processes for setting up courses within our programme and what’s involved in being a tutor at the CEC.

Our foundation workshop is a transformative experience for anyone who writes at work. In 1 day, you’ll learn a set of practical, plain-language techniques to craft compelling, reader-friendly, and persuasive documents — from short emails to strategic reports, and everything in between.
Two groups of ten students form close supportive units, each working with a tutor. Writers work with prose and poetry. They critique each other’s work. They are exposed to other writers and the writing world, listen to guest speakers and are introduced to a range of good writing by their tutor.
This stimulating course will develop your ability to write a good story and to think more critically about your writing.
