Young Archie 24
'My Principal' 2024
This year, the Young Archie’s entry record was broken again with over 4000 entries. I decided that I paint my school principal Miss Hall who is a hard working and dedicated person, the painting took me hours and numerous tries to get right. In the end, although I did not get shortlisted (which means in the top 70) I was commended as being in the top 5% of my age group.
“I have chosen to depict my school principal, Mrs Hall, as she is way more than just a principal. Mrs Hall is extremely dedicated to my school and its community. She truly cares about everyone, including the staff, families, students and all the volunteers. Mrs Hall treats everyone as if we are one big family. She can be found at the school on weekends, building, gardening and tidying up the grounds. Mrs Hall has always made me feel important and welcome, by demonstrating the school values, which include encouraging everyone to ‘be yourself’.”
