Welcome to our 2023 Arts & Technology Online Exhibition. 

This platform showcases the creative achievements of our students across years 7 to 12.

An opening was held at our physical exhibition on November 15th.  It was the first time we have hosted an opening at the school since 2019 so it was great to see so many of our school community in attendance and finally able to view student works first hand.

Sergei Shatrov officially opened our exhibition.  Sergei is a master potter with over 30 years experience, having worked and studied in studios in Japan and America.  Currently he is the manager of Clay Talk at Montsalvat, Australia’s oldest continuously active artists’ community. As a well regarded local artist and also a parent of Eltham High School, Sergei was a fitting choice to open the show this year.  We thank Sergei for taking the time to open this year’s show.

The opening recognises the achievements of our students through the awarding of certificates of excellence, along with the announcement of the major award recipients including:  The Arts KLA award for excellence, The Peter Brock Bursary Award, The Claire Edgoose Awards for Excellence, The Nyora Studio Gallery Exhibition Prize, The Wes Muir Acquisition Prize, The Principals Prize for Excellence in Technology and The Principal’s Acquisition Prize.

We sincerely thank the Brock Family, Andrew and Patricia Edgoose, Emmy Mavroidis, Vicki Ward and the family of the late Wes Muir for their generous support and making these awards possible.

Congratulations to all of this year’s most deserving winners.

Finally, I would like to thank our visual art leaders for their hard work and dedication this year in promoting the arts and engaging students in creativity. 

I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the Arts & Technology teachers for their tireless, inspiring and dedicated teaching and support of our students.

Many thanks to Peter Vapp and Laura Cain-Asbury for the many hours they have put in to make this online presentation look so amazing.

And thank you all for visiting our online show- we hope you enjoy it.

Kind Regards,

Lisa Foote
