Sharing Good Practice

Kate Scott - Digital Photography tutor entered her digital photography students into a competition last year. The winning pictures will be in South Tyneside's Calendar and could be seen as postcards too!

Kate has received an email from one of her students who informs Kate that she has won a Canon Digital Camera. It was for her entry for the Calendar 2006

The student was invited to the Sea Hotel for the presentation.

A success for the student and for Kate, Well Done Kate
