Visual Arts

Congratulations to Emily McPhail who was recently announced as the Ashley Marie Marcos Award recipient for 2023/24

Ashley Marie is an Old Girl (Class of 2006) who was passionate about her Visual Arts studies. She now works as a freelance designer and art director. Since graduating from SCEGGS, Ashley has supported an award in her name for a Year 11 student to undertake an art course on the eve of their HSC to assist them in skills development. Ashley also meets with the award recipient in a mentor capacity throughout the year.

Emily has enrolled in a Painting Masterclass at the National Art School this term and her experience in this atelier setting will no doubt bring another exciting dimension to Emily’s senior art practice.

We take this moment to thank all the students who submitted applications and to congratulate Emily on her award.

Youth Photographic Award at the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf

Last Thursday we had 14 students work exhibited in the annual Youth Photographic Award at the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf. Students were invited to enter a work as part of a whole school submission and we were thrilled with the diversity of practice and the range of students from Years 7 to 12 opting to participate. All works are on display until Sunday 26 November and there is the opportunity to vote for your favourite!

The People’s Choice Award is open until Monday 27 November. Vote in person at the Gallery or online.

Below are our students’ entries. Thank you to all who participated!
