Photography Club Captures Toronto

Madill photography club members hiking through China town.

The art and photography club were in Toronto Friday on a scavenger hunt that led them throughout the city. The day began with a subway ride to the Ontario College of Art and Design where students took in the annual graduation exhibition. From there it was a hike through China Town and the Fashion District to Queen street and lunch at St. Patrick's Market.

On the move down Parliament Street.

After lunch the trail led to King street and the Entertainment District where they caught the streetcar to the Distillery District. From there it was off to the St. Lawrence Market and the Flat Iron building before a quick run up Bay street and the Financial District to catch the north bound subway out at Osgoode station!

A group of photographers takes a break from picture taking in the Distillery District.

An edited collection of photos taken will be on display at the Spring Alive Arts Festival later this month. Prints from 8 x 10 to poster size will be available for purchase.

Madill Students At Blyth Festival Art Show

Angie and Montina admire the work of fellow artists at the Blyth Festival Art Gallery

Ten Madill artists were represented this year at the annual Blyth Festival Art Gallery Student Show. Each year the event showcases works from high school students from across the Avon Maitland Board and the Huron Perth Catholic Board. The gallery is part of the Blyth Festival Centre for the Arts.

"Fashion" by Montina Hussey, is one of the works on display.

The show opened officially Thursday May 10th but will run until May 25th. Make sure you take time to see the work before the show closes!

"Portrait of Heather" by Angie Sande, is one of the works on display.

Fashion Show Sets Tone For MORP

The students council put on a tacky fashion show to display the types of clothing that you can wear to the backwards Prom. Remember that tacky is more than just a state of mind- it's an attitude! So ... show up to the dance and show them just how tacky you can be.

OSAID Challenges Students to Obstacle Course

Members of the Students Against Impaired Driving group challenged Madill staff and students to run an obstacle course on scooters while wearing googles that simulate the impairment of alcohol. This event is meant to remind people of the dangers of choosing to drive after drinking.

Next week is OSAID trivia week- ending on Friday with a BYOB, (Bring Your Own Banana), lunch for banana split sundaes!
