The North Haven Artist in School project brought together buddy classes Year 6 and Year 2 students and teachers, Sally and Rosemary. The project involved the creation of two banners to celebrate Centenary of Federation. The first featured drawings of those involved in planning the Australian constitution, as well as an historical overview (in visual form) of Australian inventions, culture, sport, food and indigenous settlement. The second banner was a more contemporary look at life in Australia, and features portrait drawings of school staff by the Year 2 students and explores current life in Australia.

My project, Threads drawn from the past, toward a digital future... was to investigate 100 years of my family history. From my research I plan to create a website, using the non-linear nature of Internet browsing to explore the non-chronological nature of memory. From the digital files created for the Internet I will in the future make a box of family memorabilia - postcards with stories, family 'treasures', and miscellaneous oddities.

The Year 11 students explored photopolymer printmaking and used portraiture as a starting point for their images. Year 10 students formed groups and undertook a business project, each group deciding what they would market. The projects varied from decorative notepads, tee shirt designs, embossed cards and printed and handcoloured cards printed using photopolymer plates.

During my time with the school I worked on images for my Contingent Ambiguity folio, for which I used an image of myself as a starting point for the polymergravure printed images. The Contingent Ambiguity prints were shown at Henley Beach High School and after at the Sue Tweddell Gallery which is part of Adelaide Central Gallery, in late 2000.

The students worked very hard to produce drawings of the heritage garden at Loreto College and transform the drawings into relief photopolymer prints. They produced an edition of 40 prints which were incorporated into a beautiful book, with drawings and text on translucent interleaves. Each student received a copy from the edition, a book which will be a wonderful reminder of an ambitious, but very successful project.
My TheatreGarden series of prints is still at the work in progress stage.
