Student Art Competition – ‘Enchanted’

As part of our 2026 School Art Exhibition, we will be running a Student Art Competition with the theme ‘Enchanted’. Students are encouraged to submit their artwork to Ms Marquis in the Visual Arts room by Friday 13 November. Please ensure all submissions are clearly labelled with the student’s name and grade. The winner of this year’s competition will be announced during the exhibition.

Silent Auction

A silent auction will also take place during the evening, featuring seven collaborative artworks created by our students, with one artwork representing each year level. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our students’ creativity while supporting the Arts at M.P.S.
