the day and the the staff and parents were very kind to give up their day even though the weather wasn't the best. The gala day was a great day! Hope next year is just as good!

We do have a number of students who showed quite a good deal of talent in the running department. Most importantly, all students participated and showed good sportsmanship.

Photographer Paul Burke commented; “One measure of a good photograph is to look and wonder how it was taken (to put it simply). With this one I was trying to pull it apart as soon as I saw it, which is a compliment. It’s a lovely window into someone’s life. It’s happy - Miss Davies was obviously busy; it’s sad - maybe Miss Davies isn’t as busy as she used to be. It has strong composition; the depth of field is right; the lighting from the side lets you feel that Miss Davies is just beside you, working on something else…”
Isaac won a trophy which features an historic camera, $50 prize money and a $100 voucher for the Narellan Library Creative Studio.
