I love the Archibull Prize. Every entry gives me one of those ‘feel good’ moments.
It reminds me that young Australians are interested and positive about the future and they are filled with hope.
Don’t believe what you read in the papers – our school students are engaged, they are talented and they are truly inspiring!
And this competition proves it!
This year was second time we have rolled out the program in Western Sydney with 5 primary schools and 15 secondary schools participating.
20 bulls have made their way to the judging ring and today we found out which schools have triumphed in each of the categories and who is the Grand Champion Bull
Once again it has been an outstanding success
I thought the entries last year were impressive – but the schools who participated this year have taken things to a whole new level.
- We have some amazing examples of fine art
- We have discovered digital technology we didn’t no existed
- We have entries that have astounded the heads of the food and fibre industries our schools have showcased
World class is the only way to describe the efforts of the teachers and the student participants in the 2011 Archibull Prize
and the winners are ?
