St. Joseph's School Art Competition Report

The inaugural Art Competition was a big success and we congratulate all students who submitted an entry. Yesterday, the hallway between Stage 1 and the Staff Hub was transformed into an Art Gallery, allowing all the students the opportunity to view the wonderful collection of artistic pieces. Judging was not easy, however a combined effort from the staff and senior students allowed us to reach a verdict and this morning we announced the winners in front of a very excited school body.
