Lockdown Voices - Now Live!

It was very exciting to attend the launch of the Lockdown Voices 2020 at  Tūranga this evening.



Bryn and Milla bravely took the stage to read their poems to the crowd. They did a wonderful job, and truly did Russley School proud.

You can hear their poems as podcasts on the links below, along with poems from Emma C and Lukas D. Their work will be broadcast on Plains FM Radio over the next few Saturday mornings. (Scroll down for the broadcasting schedule).

Bryn Devonald - How NOT to Wash Hands During Covid-19

Emma Cox - My Grandad's Spectacular 73rd Birthday

Lukas De Wit - How NOT to do a Zoom Meeting

Milla Ydgren - Ode to the Supermarket D.J.

and past-Russley-pupil, Monica Koster - Standing at Dawn.


Not only are these students published authors, but they are also recording artists. Thanks to Plains FM 96.9 their voices will be heard on the radio.  Tune in to listen here. They will be broadcast on the following dates:
