Pupils' work to go on European tour
A SPECIAL arts exhibition uniting schools across Europe is being staged for the first time a little nearer to home – at Marshland High School.
The school is "delighted" to be involved in the project, a travelling exhibition of artwork and poetry themed around students' local environments.
The project began with a conference between senior representative teachers in schools in Norway, Holland, Slovakia and the UK.
They worked together to discuss building bridges between countries and communities and it was then that each school agreed to develop a project using art and poetry.
At Marshland, the art and English departments worked with Year Eight pupils.
The best pieces of artwork and poetry from the school, and each partner school, were then selected for the start of the exhibition which is currently on show in the school foyer and hall corridor, and will remain there until November.
"Each student whose work was selected for the exhibition has been awarded a prize and certificate and their work will be exhibited in each of the countries in the schools involved in the project, during this school year," a spokesman for Marshland High School said.
Local students who have received prizes and whose work is displayed are Katy Fitton, Jade Kolander-Waldock, Rebecca Baird, Corrine Shepherd, Elizabeth Venni, Chloe Miles, Joshua Garrod, Nathan Ramm, Hayley Smith, Luke Goodall, Matthew Pack, George Carter, Codi Nelson, Jasmin Ravenhorst, Sophie Blude, Savannah Gonzalez, Elisha Abbott, Sarah Buck, Katie Pooley, Sam Herring and Liam Moriarty.
