A Winning Snapshot
05 July 2024
The Learning Hub’s photography competition has proved very popular with Senior School girls and we have been delighted by the number of entries received. The criteria was to take a photo through a keyhole of your favourite place, person, thing or activity that is your own personal joy and wellbeing, reminiscent of the enchanting mystery of ‘The Secret Garden’.
The winning snapshot was submitted by Grace, and features her beloved golden retriever, Benji. There is nothing like being greeted at the front door by your best friend after a long day and no matter how much time passes by, they are always so pleased to see you! Well done, Grace and Benji, for sharing a glimpse into your world.
Dogs have been utilised as a therapeutic resource by many medical professionals over the last few centuries. In the late 1800s, Florence Nightingale observed that small pets helped reduce anxiety. Dogs are compassionate and communicative. This builds a feeling of intimacy, leading the person to feel safe and understood. A large number of studies show that animals can offer relief and serenity to a wide age range of people.
“Dogs make people smile even when they don’t want to.”
Well done to everyone who entered a submission to the competition. Over the summer break, pupils are encouraged to make sure they take care of themselves and their wellbeing with their most favourite things in the world!
