Oh, well, there will be another...
Congratulations to the Competition Winners for Brewhaha Poetry Slam and Youth/ Seniors Creative Writing Competition
Thank you to our poetry slam performers and congratulations to Raymond N and Jesse N who took home $300 worth of prizes.
Thank you to those who submitted entries into the writing competition and congratualtions to Meredith W and Elizabeth W who each recieved $100 worth of prizes.
One of the winning entries was 'The Homeless Kindergarten' by Elizabeth. It is reproduced here in full.
'The Homeless Kindergarten'
The ceiling is dissolving
and the carpet seems to smell
kinder kids are moulding
and the classroom is as well.
The fungi start to smoulder
it is like a prison cell
the kindy kids are homeless
in the small hall they must dwell.
The roof tiles are fragmented
there's an under carpet dam
electricity is risky,
and we cannot use our plan
Book week's a disaster!
The children are upset.
They cannot practice reading
for their readers are too wet.
I hope we get the funding
for the flooding to resolve
'Cause if we don't replace the roof tiles
the children will dissolve.
Elizabeth W from Haberfield Public School
