Kildare College students recently have been awarded for their literary talents on two separate occasions.
We congratulate Charlotte and Emily who were each awarded a Certificate of Excellence from Poetry in Action, for receiving an Honourable Mention for their poem ‘Dingo’. Poetry in Action is a national theatre company dedicated to bringing poetry to life through performance to hundreds of thousands of young people each year. Each month, they hunt for Australia’s next generation of poets and challenge students around Australia to submit their poems. Poems are submitted via their Facebook page.
We are delighted that six students, from Years 8 to10, will be having their poems published in the 2017 Spring Poetry Anthology published by the South Australian English Teacher's Association. They have also been invited to attend the launch in October. The students’ poems were written as part of their poetry unit studied in Term 2.
English is a dynamic subject at Kildare College. Students explore a range of texts, text types and most importantly, they develop skills and strategies that enable them to think critically, which is an essential life skill. Students also explore their creativity through creating their own texts after exploring a range of their texts. Students participate in a range of activities throughout the year to enrich their learning, including performances, excursions, competitions and workshops.
