MOVING
We are moving
We go up
Then there’s
“General Competencies”
Communication
Technology
Problem Solving
When organising.
No information
On numeracy
EW teamwork
Listen
For us in
Our
Classrooms.

POLLY FRIENDS
We laugh like hyenas,
We joke around a lot
Be careful what you say
Or else we’ll kick it off
Coz times may be tough
But we have each other’s back
We pick each other up
And go straight for attack
We’re family
Even if there’s no relation
Because we know that through love
There is no complication
Just don’t get caught with Kiuga
Because we know how it ends
When looking for “the one”
Make sure you double check
When we come together
There’s food and celebration
Corn beef and taro
No need for hesitation
Just be yourself
Go with the flow
Don’t be like them girls
Who hide their toes
By Kesalini Muli.
COUSINS
Tim is his name
And rugby is his game.
He thinks he’s all that
But nah, he’s pretty lame.
Don’t get caught with Kiuga.
Coz we’ll know how it ends.
When looking for “the one”
Make sure you double check.
Coz it’s your cousin
Ayyyee,
It’s your cousin.
By Timothy Gosche
CLOCKS
They tell you the time,
Are you late?
Or are you on time?
Are you early?
Or is the clock behind?

THE FIRST DAY OF HELL.
First day of hell,
Broke amongst the surface.
Feeling unworthy from teenage hormones
She’s only now going through this.
Brain stuck in a place,
Thinking about what those girls,
On the circle table were saying.
When they mentioned her name.
Oh, how bad it feels to experience these
Hormones messing with
Her brain.
By Caitlin Heard
AUTUMN
Autumn, the season of harvest,
Red, gold and brown, the fall to the ground,
Covering the earth with a soft blanket,
Branches crack, leaves crunch and rustle,
As children skip to school for another day,
To an unspoken song the leaves sway,
All sorts of critters crawl and creep,
As they head off to their lairs to sleep.
The cool breeze caresses the lifeless branch,
The pools of water ripple throughout,
The wind carries the echoes of their cheers:
“Autumn is finally here!”
By Riki Mucollari
