Visual Arts

Last term, Grade 11 students Lindokuhle Maseko, Marianna Katsoulis, Kiera Gouws and Amber Beresford entered their artwork to the SA Art Times Magazine's New Blood platform - a platform for high school art students to show their work on a national level with many schools across Sourh Africa uploading artwork daily. All 4 of these girls were recognised for their efforts on the SA Art Times Magazine's Facebook page which is an achievement in itself. Special congratulations go to Amber Beresford however, who had her work published in the actual magazine which is available nationwide! We congratulate her on this phenomenal achievement and encourage all of our art students to keep entering their work!
