Banbridge District Council Competiton

18th May 2009
Banbridge District Council Competiton

A number of our key 3 pupils were entered in a competition organised by Banbridge District Council entitled "Picture your Place".  The Aim of the competition was to educate local Secondary school children about the famous landmarks within the Banbridge District.

There were five other schools involved in the competition with over 230 entries in total.  The quality of the entries was of an exceptionally high standard.

The thirteen short-listed pupils from Rathfriland High were: - Wendy Cochrane, Zoe Hodgett, Charlotte Hamilton, Josh Ervine, Sara-Jane Magill, Rachel Harman, Zoe Cornelissen, Richard Grattan, Paul Wilson, Aynsley Johnston, Carly Green, Amie Green and James Shilliday.

Each Piece of short listed art work has been framed and will be on display in the main corridors of the Banbridge Civic Buildings.

There were 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes and an overall schools’ prize.  Rathfriland High School came up trumps with Zoe Cornelissen achieving 1st prize and Richard Grattan equalled 2nd Prize.  They each received gift vouchers for Donaghy’s Shop in Banbridge.

Rathfriland High School also one the overall schools’ prize of £500 for the Art Department.  The Pupils Worked exceedingly hard for this project deservedly receiving recognition for their talent and ability in the creative art field.

 As Their teacher I am very proud of both their individual and group achievement in this competition.
