Poetry Slam

Poetry Slam

At St Mary's we are always looking for ways to inspire our students and give them opportunities to do things they have never done before. We like to break down stereotypes and open the eyes of students.

Our students in Year Six were given the opportunity to to work with Poet, Emilie Zoey Baker and Rapper, Mantra to learn about Poetry Slams. The students spent a term learning, practising and performing their poems. We had two sold out 'gigs' at Customs House in Williamstown and the Town Hall as part of the Williamstown Literary Festival. Students competed in teams and as individuals.

The audiences were blown away by the talents of the students.

These two videos are the two winners of the Individual Competition. Our teams are also featured in the videos.
