Poetry Club

On Tuesday lunchtimes the Poetry Club provides an informal environment in which students gather and discuss poetry from a range of time periods and places. We typically enjoy poetry for the ways poets play with language and explore the most abstract ideas in new and intriguing ways.

Students are also given the opportunity to develop their own writing, whether they want to tackle epic poetry, limits or engage in spoken word. We have guest speaker spots over the course of the year, where published New Zealand poets will come and chat with the group about what they think poetry’s place is in the modern world.
