Six pupils shine in Glasgow Art Awards
Six pupils have been honoured in the 2011 Glasgow Museums' Annual Art Competition for Young People, which has been established since 1904 and is supported by the Friends of Glasgow Museums.
Alistair Ireland (P7) received a gold medal and both Brianna Matheson (P7) and Jan King (P7) won silver medals.
The lucky winners attended the award ceremony, which was held at The Burrell on 6 October. This is a fantastic achievement as over 3,000 
children sent in entries and
only 55 medals were awarded.
Mrs Toner, Arts Teacher at Kingarth Street was delighted with the children’s success saying:
The pupils had an exciting evening watching everyone collect their prizes from the very distinguished judges. 
Afterwards there was a Private View of the exhibition followed by a delicious buffet for all. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!
We would also like to congratulate the three Hutchesons’ pupils who received a place in the in the highly commended category, Emily Smith (S1)
Robyn Alexander (P6) and
Pablo del Olmo (formerly P5,
now back home in Spain.)
