Why submit an essay?

  • Any of you contemplating attempting the Scholarship exams this year may find the SER an ideal opportunity to try out and develop essay ideas and writing skills; such skills being a pre-requisite for success in Schols.
  • All those kind enough to submit material for our consideration will be invited along to the official launch of the SER on Tuesday 6th April.
  • As a further incentive, published essays will be eligible for financial prizes under the following categories:
