Politics Poster Competition - February 2012


The Winning Poster by Ivan
The Politics Department has been running a Politics Poster competition. Students were asked to design a poster around the topic of ‘Have we learnt the lessons of the War in Afghanistan.' Clearly the students who entered the competition were unanimous in their view that the prolonged war in Afghanistan is a mistake and their posters reflected their concerns. The winning entry was by Ivan in Year 13 with the runner-up being Tomoki in Year 9 and with Barty in Year 8 being highly commended.

This is what winner, Ivan Year 13, had to say:

“I was aiming to create a poster both bold and detailed, similar to the image of war itself.  I wanted to create a sense of grief coming from many sides of the conflict, devastation of property, grief of relatives, the dead and the wounded.  Although I believe that war in general may be justified, the horror a war brings is something that will never be justified.  But, back to the poster, I believe that looking at specific pictures makes you think deeper into the issue rather than you would by simply glancing at a big ‘NO’.”
