ART SHOW

It Takes a Community to Raise a Child - Thur 18 June

What a wonderful evening it was celebrating creativity, imagination and community at Beaumaris Secondary College's Art Exhibition last Thursday. 🎨✨

Students, staff and families from Beaumaris Secondary College, Beaumaris North Primary School, Beaumaris Primary School and Black Rock Primary School came together to share an inspiring collection of visual artworks, performances and creative projects, showcasing the talent, effort and artistic growth of our young people.

Reflecting this year’s theme, 'It Takes a Community to Raise a Child', the exhibition highlighted the importance of connection, collaboration and the many people who support children to learn, create and thrive.

It was wonderful to see so many BRPS families enjoying the exhibition on the evening, as well as the contributions of our students. 

Thank you to our Arts team - Beth Tyrrell, Lauren Bell and Matt Halford - for their collaboration and support to prepare our students for this event. 

Beth has provided a wonderful review and gallery of the Art Works on the Visual Arts Page of this newsletter.
