For the leadership part of their Silver Arts Award, Year 8 students; Georgia, Jess, Ellie, Bea wanted to run an art club for the new Year 7 intake.

They worked as a team to plan and organize the activities, recruiting students by talking to them in assembly.

The 4 girls planned and ran a session each as well as working together on a Christmas special. With a range of activities from origami, collage, decoupage and sketchbook making, the club was extremely popular with about 20 students attending each week.

Our Students commented:

“It was good to work in a team”

“Interesting to see what they had learnt”

“It was confidence building because they all listened to me giving instructions”

“Overall it was challenging but fun”
