On Wednesday 20 November, Norwood International High School proudly opened its 2025 Art, Design and Media Exhibition, aptly titled ‘Discover‘. This vibrant showcase of student talent brought together our school community to celebrate creativity, innovation, and the power of artistic expression.
Congratulations to all students from Year 7 to Year 12 whose works were featured in the exhibition. Each entry demonstrated exemplary creativity and skill across a diverse range of specialist art areas, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our young artists. The exhibition not only highlighted individual talent but also served as a testament to the collaborative spirit of our school.
The theme ‘Discover’ encouraged students to draw inspiration from the world around them. Many artworks explored various movements, cultures, and pressing societal issues, offering a rich tapestry of perspectives that resonated with viewers. From vivid paintings to intricate designs, the students used their art to communicate powerful messages and share their unique viewpoints.
