Year 7 Poetry Slam finals

On Friday, 16 June 2023, all Year 7 students gathered excitedly in Brescia Gym to witness the Slam Poetry Final. The atmosphere was electric as the finalists representing their English classes performed a two-minute original poem on the topic, “What is something that the St Ursula’s community needs to hear?”

Finalists were judged on a number of criteria including content, memorization, eye contact and verbal and non-verbal presentation. All performances were outstanding which made things very difficult for the judging panel, which was made up of Mrs Lansdown, Mrs Jesuadian and Mrs Watson. 

The finalists were:
