The winners of this year’s MLMC Visual Arts competition, run in conjunction with the Religous Education faculty, have been announced and we congratulate and thank everyone who entered. The theme for this year’s competition was a 'reflection of school life at the College or at home’.

The entries could be drawings, sculptures, photos, paintings or any medium. A number of outstanding entries were received and it made judging by Visual Arts Faculty Learning Leader Miss Emma Thornhill, Religious Education and Faith Development Faculty Learning Leader Mr Matthew Burow and myself very difficult.

Junior winner Teiya Sisson (Year 9 Blue) said her digital portrait of MLMC Principal Mr Philip Morison (above) was “a big thank you to Mr Morison for all that you've done for making MLMC great and supporting us through lockdown”

"The topic for this art competition was a 'reflection of something connected to school life here at MLMC' so who better to draw than our school's Principal?"

Below you can view a time lapse video of Teiya Sisson’s entry.

Chloe Morris (Year 9 Jade) said of her entry (below): “I took this picture because it shows that not everything we learn in school is from a book or a computer but we also learn how to do other things like socialise with people, make friends, do sport and much more.”

Thomas Hobley (Year 10 Gold) took an amazing photo at the College one morning (below) and it won him the Senior section. “As I was about to walk into the Chapel for morning Mass I couldn't help but notice how the wonderful sunrise shone through the fog and lit up one of the many gorgeous gums we have at school. This morning in May was among the foggiest I have experienced — a fantastic opportunity for photos. I quickly snapped several pictures as my sister and I stood back in awe. I remember thinking how grand it was to be able to see the sun rise above the fog and I am ever so glad I captured that magic moment on camera.”

Teiya Sisson's digital artwork

I did a realistic digital portrait drawing of Mr Morison, giving more of a painting texture to the look. In the background, there is a magpie flying, this symbolises his love for footy and his beloved football club, the Pies.
