Poetry in Action

This week years 7 & 9 were treated to excellent performances from the talented actors from Poetry in Action, an organisation established in Sydney 2006 with a mission to “unlock the power of words for everyone”. 

Two very different sessions included animated shenanigans, raps and skilful recitation of iconic poetry, shared in an active, enthusiastic way to show the power and the beauty of poetry. 

As Alyssa in Year 7 commented, “...it was different and fun to have a change from learning in the classroom” and it was a “ far more creative way to show the elements of poetry”.
