Breis Inspires Creativity
Published 12/03/26Our Year 9 students recently enjoyed an unforgettable visit from Breis, a talented rapper, poet and author whose work explores powerful themes such as racism, culture and identity. Using rap as a creative lens, he encouraged students to think deeply about the world around them and the importance of expressing their own stories.
During his workshop, Breis introduced a range of poetic and lyrical techniques, showing how rhythm, rhyme and wordplay can be used to communicate personal experiences. Students were then given the exciting opportunity to write their own lyrics, guided by his creativity and enthusiasm.
He also performed songs from his debut album, Stranger on Earth, giving students a live insight into how poetry becomes music. Alongside his performance, he spoke about his three published books:
- Brilliant Rappers Educate Intelligent Students
- Diary of a Creative Mind
- Stranger on Earth
The impact of his visit was clear. Students were energised, engaged and inspired by his message of resilience, creativity and self-belief. Here’s what some of them had to say:
- “It was amazing, he was very interactive and funny.” — SA
- “It was very inspiring to learn how to persevere, be resilient and never give up.” — AM
Breis’s visit was a vibrant celebration of creativity and identity, leaving students motivated to use their voices with confidence and pride.
