This year’s primary poetry slams showed a tremendous display of talent at CIS. Students had the opportunity to perform poetry on their own or in a group. Both teachers and students were asked to vote for their favourite poet based on their delivery and writing. Congratulations to all the participants involved and a huge thank you for another fantastic year of sharing your poetry on stage.
