House Art Competition Winners!

Congratulations to the winners of this year’s House Art Competition. This year, the competition featured three categories: Beaumaris-inspired art, photography, and portraiture, each offering a unique platform for creativity and expression.

Congratulations to:

• Isla D (7G, Beckett House) – Winner, Beaumaris Community

• Finn S (7G, Beckett House) – Winner, Photography

• Oliver T (7G, Ricketts House) – Winner, Portraits

In the Beaumaris-inspired art category, artists captured the charm and beauty of the Beaumaris region, whether through paintings, drawings, or mixed media. The photography category showcased striking images that conveyed emotion and helped us see deeper into what the artist wanted. Meanwhile, the portraiture category celebrated the art of capturing people or animals, whether through realism, abstraction, or conceptual approaches.

Year 7 Create Visual

Our Year 7 Create Visual students are beginning to develop their sculptural skills through paper mâché, exploring form, design and texture in 3D art. This term, students have been investigating how identity can be expressed through sculpture.

College Production 

Production update: As of the start of Week 6, the Rock of Ages crew has just begun working on Act 2, which is very exciting. It is now that pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place, with songs, scenes and dances finally starting to make sense! It is an exciting time, but there’s still a lot of work to do, as we are essentially halfway through the show!
