Art Competition 2008
7th July 2008'All things bright and beautiful' was the theme for this year's House Art Competition. The entries were extremely colourful and varied. They included drawings, paintings, mixed media, sculpture, costume, textiles and mosaic. We were privileged to have as our judge Mr Laurence Belbin, a well known local artist. He presented the prizes to the winners in a school assembly giving his reasons for their selection.
