St Patrick's Anzac Centenary Competition
To create an awareness of the Anzac Centenary, the HSIE Department devised a competition where students could either design a poster, logo, write a poem or create a multimedia presentation. The bulk of the entries received were logos and poems and the standard was commendable.
1st Prize Winner - Caroline - Year 7
Our best entries came from Year 7 who received the bulk of the prizes. Caroline won 1st place in the Logo design section with her wonderful entry combining the key features of the rising sun and poppies with a St Patrick's College school girl and the Celtic cross. Her design was used on the official invitation and booklet to the College's Anzac ceremony. Caroline's winning entry can be read here. Second prize went to Sophie for her beautiful poppy logo and third to Emily with her logo incorporating a light horse. These logos were displayed on powerpoint at the Anzac ceremony.
The 1st Prize for poetry went to Jessica, whose poem 'True Heroes' reflected the futile nature of World War I and took a sophisticated approach to the effects of war. Emily read out her poem at the school Anzac Day Ceremony in the presence of veterans and special guests. We also awarded a 'Highly Commended' to Rory for her soldier letter poem.Mr East presented the girls with their prize vouchers the week preceding Anzac Day.
