The winners of the INSPIRE Art Competition have been decided, with Matthew Hoskinson of Year 10 being named the overall winner for his photography entry, A Daring Fox of the Forest.
This annual competition attracted a huge number of entries from Years 7-12 and several members of staff across five different categories. All entries were exhibited on MacKillop Day on 12 September, where students could view the winners and vote for the People’s Choice Award.
A selection of entries are now on display as part of the official INSPIRE Exhibition, which is on now until the end of Week 12 (Term 4) in the 7 Brunswick St Building on the St Peter’s Campus. The exhibition was officially opened by the Head of the Padua Campus, Mrs Jacklyn Johnstone, on Monday 22 September.
