MHST Art Competition

04 Nov MHST Art Competition

At the end of the academic year 2021-2022, our mental health support team (MHST) asked our students to help.

They asked them to create a piece of art to be used as part of the new renovation of the NHS Child and Family Centre (Axe St.). As part of the prize for this competition, the winners would have their artwork displayed in the centre.

Furthermore, there were vouchers on offer for the winners, which included the below:

• 1^st prize £200 voucher
• 2^nd £150 voucher
• 3^rd £50 voucher

At JRCS we had a whole box full of amazing entries for the competition and I am so proud of the dedication and creativity shown. Artwork was judged on how well the piece met one of the following themes:

• Barking and Dagenham
• The NHS Child and Family Centre
• Differences. Seen and unseen (ability, class, religion, sexuality, race, culture etc.)

From all of our wonderful entries, we managed to get both 1^st and 2^nd prizes awarded to us at JRCS! See our wonderful winners with 2 members of the MHST:

1^st place goes to Mmachi

2^nd place goes to Olivia

Once again, a huge well done to all of our amazing entries and a special congratulations to our two winners. I look forward to visiting your artwork soon!
