Poetry recital is a valuable and engaging part of the classroom oral language programme. This competition is designed to encourage students to enjoy reading and appreciation of poetry, to develop memorisation skills, promote good elocution and gain confidence in performing before an audience.
The competition is open to students in Primary year levels in schools within IPSHA SA's membership. From 2017, in response to schools' demand, the competition was re-shaped to include entrants from Years 4, 5 and 6 only.
The
nature of this interschool competition allows for students of all
abilities to participate, firstly at class level then the top few from each
class compete against others from the same year level for the right to
represent their school.
Each
participating student is required to recite two (2) poems - one set poem, and
one student choice poem. Set poems are selected and provided to member schools
by the Competition Convenor, and are selected to offer challenges in rhythm,
understanding and/or particularly rich language.
Students
may use the same poems for all levels (class, school and then Interschool Final
) of the competition if they wish.
One representative
per school for each Year level is permitted to compete in the Interschool
Final. Schools with a new or only recent tradition of participation in the
Competition will be permitted two participants per year level to help them build
greater experience and a broader base of involvement. Schools may have any
number of choral groups representing them. Please check full details with
competition staff.
Further information is available in the
Entry Package and other information pages on this site, or by contacting
Competition Staff in the contacts tab.
