Multiple wins for our students in visual art competitions

POSTED August 7 2025 , News, Senior School

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of several talented Visual Arts students whose creativity and skill have been recognised in prominent youth art competitions across Perth.

In the City of Swan’s HyperVision exhibition, which celebrates young and emerging artists, Sammi (Year 12) took out first place in the Fashion & Jewellery category, with Caitlin (Year 12) close behind as runner-up. Both students submitted their impressive wearable art pieces created last year, demonstrating their creativity, craftsmanship and flair for innovative design.

Over in the City of Nedlands’ Emerge Youth Art Awards, open to young artists aged 12 to 25, Erin (Year 11) won the Under 18s category with one of her striking current works from her ATAR Visual Arts class. Even more impressively, Eva (also Year 11) was named the overall winner of the entire exhibition – an incredible accomplishment, especially as this was her very first painting!

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jess was selected as a finalist in the Shaun Tan Awards for Young Artists, presented by the City of Subiaco. The awards encourage and celebrate the imagination, innovation and creativity of young artists in WA. Jess’s detailed and thoughtful work, which she created last year while in Year 11, stood out among hundreds of entries from across Western Australia.

These outstanding achievements reflect our students’ passion, talent and dedication. Congratulations to Sammi, Caitlin, Erin, Eva and Jess for their well-deserved recognition and for inspiring our community with their artistic vision.

You will be able to see all works on display at the upcoming Art Exhibition, opening Monday 8 September 2025.
