” I would like to congratulate you all for your outstanding contribution to Tasmanian society by taking part in the Power Hip-Hop concerts.
I am a teacher and brought with me 20 refugee students to see the show. This is the first time these students have been in a theatre; have seen an orchestra; and seen refugees celebrated and encouraged to perform to an audience like this. My students were beaming for hours afterwards.
I have also worked extensively with students from disadvantaged areas like Claremont and Rokeby and never have I heard these students so involved and liberated.
What a wonderful example of how to bridge multiple worlds. Make no mistake, this is a valuable contribution to our society, and one that is making quite a few people stand up and take notice.
Congratulations and thank you so much.”
- Richard Angus, ESL Support Teacher, Elizabeth College, Hobart.
