School Handbook Design Competition 2008

At White Sands Primary School, we believe in allowing pupils to have a hand in as much things we do as possible. Last year, I helped design the present 2008 Pupil Handbook cover page. However, this year with support from our Pricipal Mrs Daphne Yeoh and Vice-Principal Mrs Lee, the Art Department decided to hold a school-based Pupil Handbook 2009 Cover Design Competition. I briefed the pupils during one of the assemblies before we broke off for the September School vacation, making use of Powerpoint slides to give them an idea of how to go about designing a cover page for the Handbook and what are the things they would have to consider when working on their projects.

The submissions were great and there were many lovely designs for the 2009 Pupil Handbook. Our heads Mrs Yeoh and Mrs Lee were allowed to take a look at the best submissions and they decided on what they felt would make good cover designs for the 2009 Pupil Handbook.

These are the names of the winners of the three prizes offered by the Department. All three of them come from the special Art Class which was started in 2006.

1st Prize: Lam Yi Xin: Primary 6 Attentive

2nd Prize: Elysia Chiam: Primary 6 Attentive

3rd Prize: Annabelle Lim: Primary 6 Attentive

Congratulations Ladies! You have done us proud. All the winners' art works and other creative works will be on display at the Annual Art Exhibition in the school grounds from 7th November 2008 to 14 November 2008.
