OCTOBER ARTS 2025

🎭 🎨 Celebrating Creativity and Talent

Each year as part of October Arts, students work across different mediums to create and showcase their work.  This year’s submissions were on display for two weeks and featured a stunning range of paintings, drawings, textiles, photography, ceramics, and digital pieces!

Teachers and students had the opportunity to vote for their favourites, but with so much creativity on display, it was a real challenge to choose!

On Thursday 22 October, during lunchtime, we hosted our annual October Arts Awards Ceremony, where the winners for each category were announced.   Parents and carers joined in the celebration as we recognised the amazing talent across our school community.
