On Wednesday 4 September, thirty of our high potential creative arts students had the opportunity to participate in a visual art workshop facilitated by local artist, Ali Haigh. 

Ali specialises in printmaking and has previously taught at TAFE and worked in the Taree Art Gallery.  Students were provided with expert tuition on the art of printmaking and were engaged in creating their own designs which they transferred onto lino to produce lino stamps.  They combined their creative efforts to produce a visually alluring mural that will be displayed in our school premises. 

Congratulations to Amiel Camphuis, Ryder Coulton, Myra Gupta, , Rubi Moore, Kohen Mortensen, Anayah Wetere-Smith, Isaac Adamson, Charlotte Andrews, Triston Brody, Eva De Bono, Sansita Edaggotti, Calli Hammond, Erin Huckett, Tara Isbel, Reeya Joon, Jaylah Koenig, Angus Moore, Zee Tulio, Nahlah Wells, Emily Boere, Charlotte Cooper, Marla Coulton-Donnelly, Taylor Deal Tewake, Anastasia Gustavsson, Georgia Hartley, Shiloh Herzberg Nicholls, Mia Howard, Bonnie McMaster, Charlee Pinto for their enthusiastic participation in this wonderful opportunity.  All students were engaged, inspired and utilised their artistically expressive and creative abilities. 

We look forward to seeing the mural in its completed form when it is displayed on our library wall.  Many thanks to Ali Haigh and Mrs Rebecca Huett, we are grateful for your effort in supporting the growth of our high potential artists.
