Congratulations to all the Visual Arts students who completed their external portfolio projects! Over the past several weeks, Senior Painting, Design, Printmaking and Photography students have been very focussed and busy, and have submitted outstanding quality work.

The staff have all been very impressed by the efforts of the students, and the resulting work produced. The students can all be very proud of themselves, and what they have achieved this year. They have all improved and gain new confidence in their creative abilities.

Special congratulations to the following students for being selected to represent our College at an exhibition of their portfolios at the Tauranga Art Gallery. This exhibition will run from December 16, 2021 to January 16, 2022, and is free to the public to enjoy. Only five students have been chosen from each secondary school in our area, so ours can be extremely proud of their work and efforts.

Well done to all of you, and we look forward to seeing you back in the Art Department in 2022!
