After school on Friday 21st November a large crowd of Stover Prep School
pupils, parents and friends gathered in Jubilee Hall to view the photography
exhibition held in support of the World Wildlife Fund. With over eighty entries
from pupils in Reception to Year 6, the competition for prizes was fierce!
Mark began by giving a
presentation, showing us some of his amazing photographs taken in exotic locations
all around the world. Ishka Thres (Year 4) whose idea it had been to organise
this special event in aid of the WWF, also spoke to the audience about his
passion for the Snow Leopard and how this had inspired him to want to save this
very special animal before numbers drop any lower.
When presenting the
prizes in each age group, Mark explained to winners the elements of the
photograph that showed particular strength, resulting in their picture being
selected. He also commented on the high standard of entries overall.
We should like to thank
Ishka for his wonderful idea; all those pupils who entered the competition;
everyone who came on the night; the parents who donated cakes for the cake sale
and those who kindly served refreshments on the evening. Very special thanks go
to Ishka’s mother, Mrs Pearson, for her support and help with the organization
of this memorable event.
We are delighted to say
that we raised a total of £271.25 for the WWF through competition entries and
the cake sale. Hopefully we have also inspired some budding photographers of
the future!
