ART - Reconcilliation Week 

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

Black Rock Primary School students across the school were invited to participate in the Ellen Jose Awards and National Reconciliation Week. Ellen Hose was a long-time resident and Torres Strait Elder who sadly passed away in 2017. The Art Bursary was created to recognise her contribution to the arts and bringing awareness to reconciliation. 

59 students from Foundation to Year Six spent their time over a number of recess and lunch breaks, and some even used their own time at home to create some phenomenal pieces of artwork! Their design needed to represent 'What Reconciliation means through your eyes?' and WOWSER did they showcase their talents!!! 

Out of 170 entries Black Rock Primary took a massive 5 positions in the finalists out of only 10 awarded. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO...

Category F-3: Finn Wilson 3M, Lola Fernandez 3M and Saige Harper 3M

Category Yr4-6: Talia Morris-Marr 5D and Laila Southam 6M

I would also like to congratulate all of our amazing 59 entrants from the school, I heard it was an incredibly difficult decision for the judging panel. 

Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions the Flag Raising Ceremony was cancelled however please keep your eyes peeled for more information as we are hoping to celebrate these achievements during NAIDOC week with the greater community, further information will be communicated.
