Why not give it a go?

Last week a competition was advertised that is open to anybody up to age 16. The competition is to design some artwork using any media in A3 size that would look good on a pair of board shorts. Entries are to be submitted at the OZ HULLABALOO on Napoleon Street, Cottesloe on Saturday November 9. It is great to have arts initiatives like this come up within our community because it gives the boys an opportunity to engage with the Arts, and create and express their own style and ideas.

Congratulations to Damian Haynes in 5D who has taken the weekend to play with ideas and create a design. This type of behaviour; showing interest, sharing skills and ideas, and being proactive highlights the kind of attributes we will be looking for in our Year 5 captains next year.

Damian forwarded his artwork to me to view and I would like to share it with all the boys, to give them some inspiration and show them how easy it is to be proactive if you have:

  • A clear goal and criteria to address.
  • Passion and interest in expressing your ideas.
  • Self-Management skills to manage your time and meet the set deadline.
  • Sense of belonging to a community.

Anyone wanting to enter this competition can pick up an entry form in the Art Studio. Why not, give it a go?
