Life Thru a Lens Photo Competition

Our second  Life Thru a Lens photo competition came as a result of our recent successful Primary Global Goals day. We had a wonderful collection of photos submitted to show the theme “Global Goals” with Primary students taking photos of where they could see the Global Goals in action around Sabah. They also snapped some thought provoking images which showed where action still needs to take place in our local environment. Primary students took some really interesting photos that represented this theme and our staff judges had a very difficult decision to choose the winners.

Judging and voting has been completed by our Global Goals staff team and we were proud to reveal the overall winners during our Weekly Assembly at the end of the week. One winner was chosen from each House in each Key Stage and they will have their photo printed and displayed on the walls of the Primary Key Stage Office.

Please join me in congratulating the winners and admire their amazing photos for New Beginnings!
