From the Art Room

This week some students are coming home with information about some current Art Competitions. These are opportunities for students who are keen to create artwork at home and enter a competition. Information can be found on the relevant websites.

Could SSPS have the next creator of 2027 Foundation library bags? Or is the next designer of the Youth myki card amongst us at SSPS? Could there even be an artist here who draws attention to one of Australia’s threatened species with their stunning artwork?
