LOCAL students have shone in the 2015 Season of Excellence in the areas of technology, art and dance.
Five Beaconhills College students received awards for their 2015 work, with a number of others shortlisted and performing arts auditions still underway.
Season of Excellence is an annual celebration of the best student work in Victoria, covering the subjects of technology, design, multimedia, cinematic, visual and performing arts subjects. It is presented by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
Students from the Beaconhills Pakenham Campus who received awards were Kristy Amos for portraiture, Nick Karman for his floorball machine (Top Designs), Tim Sandell for his house alarm (Top Designs) and Alycia Siomos for her dance performance (Top Class).
At the Berwick Campus, Alicia Simons also earned an award for her outstanding series of photographs.
Kristy Amos painted a representation of the ageing process, entitled ‘Skin Deep.’ She paid tribute to art teacher Maria Tsiagalos for her help throughout the year.
“Ms Tsiagalos was so dedicated – she was always happy to stay after class or lunchtimes to help me,” Kristy said.
Kristy achieved one of the top 10 ATAR scores at Beaconhills, and hopes to study a double-degree in Arts/Law at Monash University.
Beaconhills College headmaster Tony Sheumack said the class of 2015 had done the school proud.
“The breadth of talent and creativity in our art and technology departments is incredible,” he said.
