___________________________________________________________________________ GORDON HARRIS ART SUPPLIES A huge thankyou to the school team at Gordon Harris Art Supplies. This company supplies painting kits for all our year 12 and 13 painters and is a great supporter of the Visual Art department. When the staff at Gordon Harris heard about Oceana Guilloson’s accident, they gifted her a very valuable art easel so she could keep painting for her NCEA assessments. Oceana is a very talented artist, and the art department were really thrilled with this generous gift.
