National Poetry Day (1 October 2024)

Our English colleagues and students in Pathways, Business and IT have been busy getting into the poetic spirit this week, creating a collaborative piece to promote National Poetry Day. To that end, the students contributed an ‘I Believe’ statement, capturing Josh Siegal’s work, ‘A Statement of Belief’
