As the excitement built up for the Olympics, Miss McGarry's year 7 and year 9 groups got involved in producing artwork with an Olympic theme.
Year 7 studied the history of the Olympics and looked at the designs of past Olympic torches. The students gathered information, sketching their own designs centred on British culture. They used recycled materials, for example plastic bottles that they cut up and built onto. The torches were then sprayed with gold paint to give a metallic effect.
Year 9 produced self portraits using mixed media combined with motivational text; this art work was then scanned into Photoshop, layered and then printed onto fabric to make bunting. The same images were later used for the prize giving programme combined with the face of David Devine, a Paralympics medallist and ex pupil of St Margaret's.
