On the 6th of September Howick High School held their annual Matric Art Exhibition. Matric students are required to put up retrospective exhibitions showing their work over the past 3 years. Many of the students could be justly proud of the standard of work they exhibited. As is our tradition pupils have the opportunity to auction their artworks on the night in a silent auction. The auction was well supported with friends and family bidding against each other for their favourite artworks. The top bid this year was for a drawing by Patrick Ferguson which sold for R300.00 and Patrick was also the top earner of the night bringing in R1100. The silent auction raised a total of R5020 for the Art Department and its Artists. A number of pieces have been selected for display in the Matric Art Exhibition at the Tatham Gallery in 2017.
