THESE ARE SOME OF THE POEMS WRITTEN BY STUDENTS AT OUR SCHOOL:
Eastway

Eastway is fun.
Eastway is cool.
The only proble is, there is no pool.
Gym is exciting, science rules.
We are on top, with the melting pot.
Eastway is fun.
Eastway is cool.
If you are here, you'll love school.

Eastway
Welcome to your home away from home,
where great thinkers and brainstormers roam.
Each and every day, we walk down the halls,
with our heads up high and our paintings on the walls.
Some people think that Eastway is bad;
that we fussandfight and make people mad.
There's nothing wrong with our school.
We get along just fine.
Eastway gives us knowledge and feeds our minds.
Eastway is going to the top;just like the rest.
We may not be perfect, but we give it our best.
Farewell to Eastway, our home way from home,
where great thinkers and brainstormers roam.

I am willing to set the record straight Eastway is not as bad as people say it is. Yes our school get into fights but I mean who doesn't. No school is perfect we may have a bad reputation but some of us try to change it. So if any of you ever heard that Eastway is a bad school don't believe it. We have the same amount of knowledge at our school as in any other. So if you hear anything bad about Eastway don't believe it until you go here for yourself.
