Thanks to Lorraine of Life Aiders (www.lifeaiders.com) for a fabulous Paediatric First Aid Course at Artzone Studios last Thursday and Friday.

It was a great opportunity for the teachers to get up to date with First Aid practices, and discuss the most likely first aid scenarios for art classes or camps.

While it was serious and practical we managed to have a laugh along the the way – this poor dummy is about to be CPR’d by Paul

A serious row has broken out in the Staff Room at Artzone Studios. Two teachers claim credit for the overall winner of the Senior Group for the Faber-Castell Tropical Island Dreams Competition.

Senior Winner - Ciara Drennan

Winner, Ciara, attends Gillian’s weekly class, but technically completed her competition entry while part of Michelle’s Summer Camp group. It could be handbags at dawn to decide the outcome:-)

Meanwhile Junior Group Winner Aleena is an undisputed darling of the Liam Cousin’s Artzone Academy that has become Taney. He claims all credit for all artistic development at the venue!

Junior Winner - Aleena Susan Binu

Seriously, congratulation to the winners, the runners up and those highly commended from over 1,000 eligible entrants this summer. The judges were delighted with the outstanding level of creativity, colour, media and finish of this years entries.
