Rotary Club Photography Competition

By | Art, School news | No Comments

Congratulations go to Christos Ntailakis who is this year’s winner of the Rotary Club Photography Competition.  Second place went to Emma Gunn, with Ciara Robertson coming third.

The Rotary Club & Montrose Academy photography competition was based on the title ‘The Beauty of Nature’ and this year’s Higher Photography pupils were given the opportunity to put forward their best photos which illustrated the title.   This is the first year of the competition and it is hoped that it will now become an annual event on the school calendar.

Christos is pictured with his winning entry of an autumn leaf, alongside runner-up Emma and judges Mr Neil Werninck from Montrose Rotary Club and Mr Peter Allan, Principle Teacher of Performing Arts.

Montrose Academy Arts Festival

EXPESSIVE ARTS FESTIVAL
 

The Arts Festival was a fantastic success, thanks to those that participated. The performers and exhibitors produced an eclectic mix of art and music for visitors to the evening show to enjoy. Compere, Mr Thomson, ensured the night’s entertainment flowed seamlessly, or at least, seemingly seamlessly! There were two halves of lively music performed by the talented pupils of Montrose Academy. A mixture of modern songs and classical music by soloists, groups, choirs and orchestra ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy. There was even a performance of ‘Teenage Dirt Bag’ by the teacher’s band which put a few smiles on faces in the audience. At the interval everyone was able to enjoy some refreshments at their beautifully decorated tables courtesy of Mrs Innes. There were art displays, potter’s wheel demonstrations and S2 stop-frame animations on display throughout the break. Ceramics produced by the pottery club were available for purchase and raffle prizes were also available. Quite a few people went away with early Christmas presents, we thank them for their support.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in, helped out with or came along to support us at the Arts festival, you all contributed to the success of the night. Thank you!
