The Media Committee are proud to announce the latest awards. The Oscar for Best Journalism is to be awarded to Sinovuyo Madlavu for a thorough article sent during the holidays on the Hockey Trip to George which met all the requirements and the Oscar for Best Photography to Olwethu Mahlinza for a photograph which uses unusual angles to depict the school, a place we see every day in a different way.

The Media Committee are proud to announce that the Oscar for best Journalism goes to Heather Wilkinson for her article on an event which she did not attend, but conveyed through writing as though she was, by interviewing people; and the Oscar for Best Photography goes to Megan MacGorman for her shot of two happy, tired young juniors after Stay Awake with good lighting and focus.

To encourage excellence in photography and writing and to recognise those who contribute to the school’s archives, we will periodically hand out floating trophies or awards to deserving girls. The first recipients of ourOscars are:
An Oscar for Best Journalism Award to Amy Schambril for her article on the Going Green society to promote involvement in 2017
An Oscar for Best Photography to Jessica Schoeman for photography at Team Building afternoon and the award is for capturing a moving subject midair.

An Oscar for Excellent Photography goes to Taybah Teladia who caught a very sweet moment on camera on 1 February using Mr Weidemann’s camera.  A few juniors rushed to Mrs Stear to congratulate her and the picture is full of hugs, joys, spontaneity  and smiles. 
A Oscar for Journalism goes to Saneliswe Jikeka for her article on prefects’ camp as her article includes stories of the highlights of the camps, mentions individual contributions.  It is interesting yet informative and keeps a good balance between reporting on the event and weaving a compelling story line around the report.
