The Great Outdoors - photography competition

Monday 13 July 2009


ICT and interactive whiteboards
are all very well, but sometimes the best way to learn things is by leaving the classroom and entering the real world, whether that involves caving, white-waterrafting or clambering through giantspider-webs of rope. And, while you’re there, why not get the pupils to take a couple of photographs to prove that they did it? That’s the challenge being set by our new competition.
In a bid to promote learning outside the classroom, the NAHT and the Association of Heads of Outdoor Education Centres (AHOEC) have joined forces to give young people the chance to win one of two fantastic new cameras. We want students involved in any of the many exciting activities available this summer to photograph themselves and their friends (with parental permission, of course) in action.
As well as prizes for the winning entries, Leadership Focus will publish a selection of some of the most interesting shots sent in by the competition deadline of 30 September 2009. Please note that NAHT and AHOEC reserve the right to make use of the photos in future articles and that rights to all submitted photos remain with NAHT and AHOEC. Schools will also need to arrange clearance with parents prior to entry.
Please send your entries (by email only) to johnr@naht.org.uk by 30 September 2009. Winners will be notified by direct contact and winning photos could be published in a future issue of Leadership Focus. You will need to include the following details with your entry: school name, school address, school contact name, school telephone number, local authority or employer, name of pupil photographer, age of pupil photographer and verification of photographer by headteacher.
The AHOEC is affiliated to the NAHT and represents the highest quality Outdoor Education Centres. The competition is sponsored by: Stone Computers, Stone Business Park, Staffs, ST15 0SR.
