Their artworks were chosen to be displayed alongside the work of talented senior Visual Art students from across our region, showcasing the incredible creativity, imagination and artistic talent of our young artists.

An extra special congratulations to Sophie & Peyton who were each awarded a Commendation Prize for their outstanding artworks, ‘Exposure’ and ‘Miss Deb’!
