The poetry task I felt was particularly good because the students were given freedom to create and express their own ideas on topics they encounter every day of their school lives. It was brilliant. Well done. ” Teacher “I have enjoyed being part of this and the school will benefit. We need to work together, understand the consequences of bullying and learn how to respect each other.” Year 9 student “Excellent characterisation in the play. The character of Vic could have been any student, so was very relatable for many students. The staging was imaginative and involving. The forum theatre at the end was excellent. I have been truly impressed with the standard of the students’ work and their willingness to share it in performance Well done! Would love you to come again! ” Teacher
