The Rāroan —

We'd like to share some writing with you from some of our students: Evelyn Watt (R3), Lincey Jiang (R6), Scarlett Jordan & Mia Fraser (R13), Lottie Davidson (R14) and Ellie Palmer (R20). Their inspiration came from the poem 'Identity' by Julio Noboa Polanco.

Here is a teaser...an excerpt from 'Identity' by Evelyn:

They can be the crystals,

A treasure to be held,

But shattered to fragments when struck down.

I’d rather be a rock,

Solid and unbroken,

Commander of cliffs and mountain ranges.

They can be the crystals,

The star in the darkness,

But pursued by unwelcome gazes.

I’d rather be a rock,

Layered with history,

Reigning over the briny ocean winds.
