Student Masterpieces

Every month we take a look at the work of several of our students. We choose a new topic each month to give all of our students the chance to contribute to the newsletter in a way that reflects them. Every time we are given a unique view into the lives of our students, and this month is no exception.

This month's topic is PHOTOGRAPHY

Lifelong Photographer

David Sims - Year 9

I have been interested in photography for the last 3 years. It all began when my parent's gave me my grandfathers old camera. Since then I have saved up and bought myself a brand new Canon 60D and several lenses. I like to take photos of lots of different subjects to improve my skills. One day I hope to be a professional photographer.

Tri County Rugby Carnival

Steven Hobbs - Year 12

I have been part of the school's rugby team since I started at the school in Year 8. Unfortunately I was injured earlier this year and will miss the first half of the season. I still want to support my team and so I still attend each game, and even travel with them when we go to away games. I wanted to feel like I was still contributing, so I began taking photos of each game, and I have found that I am slowly getting better at taking action shots! Recently our team was invited to the Annual Tri County Rugby Carnival. This is a round robin competition that takes place over a long weekend. I am happy to report that our team played fearlessly and placed second overall! Here are some of my photos from the carnival.

Duck's Day Out

Lisa Smithton - Year 7

Over the Summer holidays my family travelled to the USA, where we did a 4 week road trip. The highlight of the trip was getting to visit Disneyland, where I bought the subject of my photographs Donald Duck! I wanted to take photos of Donald around my home doing everyday things with me. Please enjoy my photos of Donald's day out.
