Last year Sawyer and Max from Room 16 attended a Write On course at the Art Centre.

Sawyer wrote a poem called Stained Glass World, inspired by the beautiful, leadlight window in the Great Hall. This is his poem:

Stained glass world

I walked into the Great Hall,

underneath the giant doors,

and the first thing that I noticed

was the huge stained glass window.

It had a mother with a baby

and a Maori warrior,

a lot of kings and queens

and soldiers from World War I

My mind wandered away from the hall

and suddenly

I was in the stained glass world.

I listened to a conversation

between Shakespeare and Captain Cook

and saw actions talking with thoughts

I was pulled away from this magical place,

my mum was shaking my shoulder,

then she led me out

those giant doors and to the car.

by Sawyer J, Year 7
