Get your child’s creativity flowing with our one-on-one creative writing workshop
The NSW Government recently announced a new rebate program to encourage creativity in children called the Creative Kids Program. It provides a $100 voucher per child to be redeemed for creative pursuits each calendar year. Alchemy is proud to be an accredited provider of the Creative Kids program, offering a one-on-one creative writing workshop that will help your child tell engaging and vivid stories.
The Alchemy Creative Writing workshop is a 90 minute face to face or online workshop that will teach your child the foundations of creative writing and story telling by getting them to come up with the components of a short story that they will be proud of! What makes our workshop unique is that is it one-on-one, so it is 100% customised to the age and ability of your child. Whether they are in early primary school or about to sit the HSC, your child has something to gain from this program.
Your workshop will include:
THE FOUNDATIONS OF A STORY
What makes a great story? Why do we dive deep into imagined worlds like that of Harry, Katniss and Frodo? We will explore the foundations of every good story.
CREATING CHARACTERS THAT CONNECT
The central characters of any story are the most important part. If we don’t love them, we probably won’t really love the story! We will explore what makes an engaging and loveable character.
USING WORDS TO TELL A STORY
The words we use can make a story so much more interesting! We will explore different language devices and how to use these effectively.
Your child will love working with our creative writing tutors

HOW THE ALCHEMY CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP WILL IMPACT YOUR CHILD
A short story from our founder, Nic
When I was in primary school I was really into creative writing. I remember being a part of this club that was called something like Starfish writing (I tried googling it but nothing came up, maybe other 80’s kids can help me out?). Each month I would get a magazine from them filled with creative writing pieces submitted by other students across Australia. I loved reading through these pieces and getting ideas for my own stories. Each edition also included writing prompts that you could write yourself and send to them to be included.
I still remember the day I received a copy in the mail and I opened it up to find one of my pieces published in there. It was tiny – maybe a quarter page, but it was my piece! Something I had created in my mind and put on paper and now kids all over the country were reading it!
I think it was that early love of creative writing that spurred my love for all things creative. Now as a parent, one of my greatest hopes for my children is that they too pursue creativity with just as much passion. If they can create things in their mind, they will never be bored. If they can create, they can solve problems. If they can create they won’t view failures as setbacks, but opportunities to think differently.
Creative Writing is one of the easiest ways for children to exercise the creative muscle. All they need is a pen and paper. A love for creative writing will make them better readers and more engaged at school.
Using your NSW Creative Kids Voucher with Alchemy is a great way to get your child’s creative juices flowing. We are proud to be an accredited NSW Creative Kids Provider and will ensure your child is challenged, inspired and left knowing what they are capable of.
