This weekend will be one of the the last opportunities to catch the artworks by Kingaroy State High School students on display at the Kingaroy Art Gallery.

The exhibition was officially opened by South Burnett Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell at a wine and cheese night on October 11.

It features artworks from all senior grades – and many of them are available for sale (six were sold on the opening night!)

Visitors can also vote for the People’s Choice winner.

As the guests crowded around on the opening night, KSHS art co-ordinator Wendy Corstiaans invited several students to present a short explanation of their works.

A highlight of the exhibition is student Emma Goodhew’s work “Personal Perception”, about bullying, which has won a Creative Generation Excellence Award for Visual Art, and has been selected for a touring exhibition.

Year 12 students Leah and Hannah Noll were enjoying looking around their schoolmates’ artworks
