The school arranged for several volunteer artists to join in the fun by demonstrating different artistic methods and also displaying some of their pieces for the children and guests to enjoy.

The event was a wonderful opportunity for the staff and parents to interact in a social environment to end the term on a colourful note.

Each family took their art home at the end of the evening.
