Students from two of these classes were the participants in Red Room Education, which was conducted in the classroom involving twelve students from classes between Years 7-12. The poetry program was part of their overall literacy work but also allowed unique levels of self expression, individual work and collective cooperation. Within a framework of intellectual and other disabilities at a moderate to more severe levels, all the students were able to contribute into this age-appropriate and creative program. Co-ordinated by classroom teacher Mark Liston, the team included Yvette Fulton and teachers' aides, and the students received one-to-one assistance from Australian poet Ivy Ireland to create the poems and write them as needed.  The students produced an exhibition of posters and paintings that accompanied their epigrammatic poems.
