Well done to everyone who entered the WOW Badge Competition 2023, a staggering nearly 50 entries. We have never had so many entries and the standard was incredibly high, we have so many talented artists in our school. Unfortunately, we can only submit 3 entries to Living Streets. A huge thank you to all the JTAs as they voted for the 3 winning entries. These entries will now be sent off to Living Streets so fingers crossed Ebony, Indie and Esme.
