Apirana Taylor Visits Linwood College

Emily Whiteman —

We had the pleasure of having one of New Zealand’s most prestigious poet, story-teller and musician visit us.

On April 4th, Apirana Taylor delivered an energetic and highly creative performance as both students and staff witnessed his poetry literally flying across the room in the form of paper planes. Taylor also shared with us his love for music and displayed his immense passion for language and words. During the performance, students were also asked to join Taylor centre stage and take part in a variety of activities including taking us through the creative journey of turning a three-word poem into a full song. Students and staff here at Linwood College left the performance feeling inspired and captivated by Apirana Taylor's achievements, creativity, and passion for words. We hope to have him back soon.
