Visual Arts-Great News!

We are thrilled to share that two Old Girls are represented in this year’s Archibald and Wynne Prizes!

Thea Anamara Perkins (Class of 2009) is hanging in the Wynne Prize with a landscape work called Home and Eliza Gosse (Class of 2012) is hanging in the Archibald with a portrait titled Somewhere near home. This is an incredible outcome to have 2 Old Girls in this show. Later this term, we will be taking all Year 7 Visual Arts students to see the Archibald, Sulman and Wynne Prizes but if you planning to visit the exhibition we hope you get to view these works and contemplate that the future is so full of exciting possibilities for our art students!  

Michaela Gleave, Our Arts Assistant, is also leading a roving choral performance at Melbourne Museum this week on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 May as part of “Art After Dark“. 

Michaela says Voyager One is an ethereal and meditative celebration of the cosmos, reflecting the awe and wonder with which humanity has always regarded the stars. Marking the period of time it took NASA’s Voyager One Space Probe to leave Earth in 1977, the choral work explores the moment humanity launched its most ambitious scientific exploration into the vast expanses of space. Created by Michaela Gleave with Amanda Cole and Warren Armstrong and performed by the Divisi Chamber Singers.
