Rotary Competition Successes

We are proud to announce that several Stamford students have received awards from the Stamford Rotary Club for their entries to various competitions.

Effie L, Stamford Junior School student, won first place in the Young Writer Competition, with her poem titled ‘Peace’:

This year’s Young Artist Competition, with the theme ‘Sunrise, Sunset’, saw two Stamfordian winners. Olivia S of Stamford High School was this year’s senior winner and Freya S of Stamford Junior School was the intermediate winner. A huge congratulations must also be awarded to Anna S, for placing 2nd overall at the National Stage of last year’s Young Artist Competition, themed 'Colours of Nature'.
