Poetry in Action, a theatre troupe who hails from Sydney, visited JPSS on Wednesday as part of Book Week celebrations. As the name states, it was an action-packed performance about poetry, poetry techniques and how poetry can be used as a powerful voice.

Our Year 8's went on "A poet's quest" as our young protagonist went in search of ways to improve his writing through the techniques of rhyme and rhythm, among others, to improve his own poetry to capture his sweetheart!

The Year 10's looked at the Poetry of riot and revolution and that words are often more powerful than war in creating change and provoking us to take a stand on things we feel passionate about. Our students embraced the performances and asked some great questions at the end.

It was a real treat to experience live theatre in our Powerhouse.
