Postcard Show 2024

The results are in! 

The most popular theme for this year’s Postcard Show is Music.

Music is endemic to culture and our lives in so many ways.  How will you portray it? 

Perhaps you will respond to your favourite musician or genre? 

The lyrics of a song? How music makes you feel? Music in different cultures or from different times? You might take inspiration from album covers, performances or an instrument you play?

We are looking forward to your entries and how you respond.

Details:

• The postcard exhibition is open to all students and staff at Eltham High School.
• Postcards are available from the front office, the Arts staff room or room 613.
• You may enter as many times as you like but only one entry will be eligible for a prize.
• Your artwork can be completed in any mediums of your choice- paint, pencil, collage, ink…etc.
• Entries are due no later than Wednesday 11 September
• There will be a post box at the front office where you can submit your finished entries.

 Please make sure your name and year level is written on the back of the card.

Music Teacher Returns from London

Classroom Music teacher and champion of the school choir, Lynlee Williams, has returned from a three week stint performing in the north of London.

Lynlee successfully auditioned for the principle mezzo-soprano role of “Katisha” in a production of the opera called “The Mikado”. 

The entire cast was chosen from all around the world and performed at a 3 week festival across July and August at the Buxton Opera House.  

One of Britain's leading, provincial theatres, Buxton Opera House was designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1903. 

Congratulations Lynlee on an amazing achievement.
