Junior Chirnside Competition

Virginia Collingwood —

The Junior Chirnside Competition asks students in Year 9 and 10 to illustrate a passage of a Shakespeare text that was studied in their English class during the year.

At the end of 2021 students worked hard creating a static image that symbolically represented a quote from a Shakespearean text. Every year the competition is great; however, this year the sheer number of top-quality entries was outstanding. This made the judges’ jobs extremely difficult. 

After careful consideration, the Year 9 prize was awarded to Gabby Wright for her intricate illustration of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (above). 

The Year 10 prize was awarded to Faizah Erfani for a symbolic and layered portrayal of The Taming of the Shrew (below).

The following students received highly commended: Alice Barnes, Amy Lu, Chloe Stuart, Emma Hambleton, Neela Van Gerwen, Noella Ronquillo, Ruby Simon and Sophia Falta.

Congratulations to both our winners, as well as to those who were highly commended in the competition.
