Beaulieu Convent School

MONDAY 5 DECEMBER - SATURDAY 31 DECEMBER

Beaulieu Convent School is proud to exhibit the work of their Art, Photography and Textile students at GCSE and A Level.

The exhibition showcases the students’ hard work and dedication in each of the courses taught. Their work is eclectic, a true mix of subject matter and techniques, as the students are encouraged to explore and express themselves through their individuality and chosen medium.
