Artwork of the Month and Tower Art Show

Congratulations to two of our Year 10 Visual Art students who are joint winners of “Artwork of the Month” for the month of September: Harrison Monaghan and Alex Robertson for their street art inspired paintings produced as part of the Year 10  “Youth Culture” unit.

 

Both artworks featured in the recent Tower Art Show which showcased a large range of student artworks over three fabulous days, alongside the work of practicing artists

We sincerely thank the Tower Art Show organising committee for providing this opportunity for our student work to appear in an exhibition of this calibre against the backdrop of the iconic Tower building.

 

Uplift Project

We congratulate the winners of the Uplift Project which was part of the Tower Art Show as a fundraiser for the Champagnat Trust with 100 % of sales of artworks donated to this worthwhile cause. Congratulations to our student winners -

 

  • Roman Kaminski – (Years 5-6)
  • Josh Davis – (Years 7-10)
  • Harrison Marshall (Years 11 -12)

 

Students were presented with their prizes on Assembly. Thank you to all who entered work in the 2025 competition. The Uplift Project will return in 2026 in conjunction with the Tower Art Show.
