Rena by Maria Rose (Maungatapu School)

DescriptionIn 2011 Maungatapu School's Room 13 (year's 2 & 3) wrote poetry in reaction to the Rena disaster. The poetry and posters appeared in a window display at Tauranga City Library.

Out on Astrolabe Reef away from the land
Rena is stranded she needs a helping hand
Criterions wait for the good news to come
But all that came was the devastation to our land
The thick toxic oil has covered nature
The sea life our food did we need this to happen?Everything's lost to this big fat interdict
Because of a ship named the Rena.
