Art Club

Last week was the final Art club for the term and the last for the Grade 5/6s for the year.

They went out with a bang, creating some beautifully designed bowls and plates using ceramic markers and stencils.

Tea Towel Fundraiser

In the last two weeks during Art classes, every single child in the school has created a portrait of themselves to be sent away to the company 'Expressions' to be screen printed onto a tea towel for you to purchase if you would like. This is to commemorate the 130th birthday of the school. Here's a sneak peek at some of the teacher portraits that the students took part in creating. 

In the classroom...
