Halliford School Welcomes Spring With Inter-House Photography Competition

Published by Halliford School on Friday 22nd of March 2024

As the winter months give way to the blossoming of spring, Ms Hetherington, our Head of Art, recently organised an Inter-House Photography Competition, encouraging students to capture the ‘First Signs of Spring’ through their lenses. This Inter-House event brought together students from each of our four houses, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their photography skills and unique perspectives on the changing season.

Over the course of two weeks, participants ventured into their surroundings, seeking out and capturing images that embodied the essence of spring’s arrival. From budding flowers and animals to longer days and brighter skies, students were tasked with encapsulating the rejuvenation and renewal that spring brings.

The competition not only allowed students to practice their technical photography skills but also encouraged them to develop a deeper connection with the natural world and appreciate the beauty of the season’s transformation. This theme aimed to inspire a sense of hope and optimism, as spring often symbolizes new beginnings and growth.

The submissions were judged by the Headmaster who evaluated the entries based on creativity, technical skill, and their ability to capture the essence of the ‘First Signs of Spring’ theme. Mr Davies was impressed by the quality of the images submitted and the diverse interpretations of the theme.

Congratulations to Aaric in 11W on his winning entry and to Sam in L6R and Hayden in 9R on their highly commended entries.

The ‘First Signs of Spring’ Inter-House Photography Competition proved to be a resounding success, fostering a sense of community and friendly competition among the students while celebrating the beauty and rejuvenation of the season.
