Senior Art Exhibition

Last Thursday the Art Department held our annual Senior Art Exhibition. Year 12 and 13 Visual Art students exhibited their year's work. It was a wonderful exhibit of painting and photography and well supported by our students and their families, and also St Hilda's staff. 

Amazing, varied work that has grown and developed throughout the year with lots of hard work from our students. Well done everyone on a very impressive show.
