Setting the Scene

This year I was fortunate enough to be asked to facilitate a Break Out at Creative Schools: Blaze Of Colour conference, alongside Professor Peter O'Connor and Poet Selina Tusitala Marsh. A wonderful experience sharing how I use digital animation alongside process drama to enhance literacy and comprehension. A highlight of the day was finally being able to listen to our own Poet Laureate, Selina Tusitala Marsh, author of one of my favourite books, Mophead.  I used one of her creative writing techniques in class on our first week back at school... the laughter and engagement while the learners shared their written pieces was magic to my ears! And so the year begins... let Creatives reign!
