2019 ELEMENTS – ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITION

What an amazing seven weeks we have had with the annual Art and Technology Festival- Elements. From the 29th October to the 7th  December, each year level was showcased with a selection of exemplary work, celebrating students’ creativity and excellence within the arts and technology domains. The rotating exhibition showcased work from a range of subjects including; visual arts, photography, ceramics, textiles, digital technology, materials and product design.

Students work was displayed in the main office allowing staff, students and the community to view it throughout recess, lunchtime and afterschool. In addition to this, students work was also be celebrated via our Wheelers Hill Secondary College Instagram page, where we aimed to promote the students as practicing artists. We encourage the community to get behind the students in celebrating their efforts. To see their work, visit https://www.instagram.com/wheelers_hill_sc/ or simply search for WHEELERS_HILL_SC.

The purpose of the annual Arts and Technology exhibition was to recognise students talents and efforts, by providing them with a platform to show off their creative flare, as any practicing artist would. Each week, a student was selected for the exemplary work and original creativity.

I would like to thank all of the students and teachers who worked tirelessly to set up the exhibition spaces. In particular I would like to thanks the arts staff; Mrs Jepson, Mrs Barrie and Mrs Ford for their continued commitment in supporting our students and school community. Your hard work and contribution was greatly appreciated.

Students are now welcome to collect all of their visual arts and technology artworks/projects before the end of the year. Due to limited storage we are unable to keep all work. Please see your visual arts teacher to collect any work within the next week.
