7T once again show that no one can match them in the recycling. All of those bags from one tutor group on just one day – and it’s in bags because the bins are already full!
Why on Earth is the Chang logo and banner on the Samui blog?!
Last year Chang held a competition within their house to create a logo and a banner. Mr Weston then worked with the winning designs to turn them into the polished, professional looking images above.
All of the House Leaders agree that it would be great to have similar images for all of the houses that we can use on websites, publications and T-shirts, etc. Similar for Samui means that we would keep the circular emblem but replace the elephant head with a dragon and the Chang writing with something more rousingly Samui. Therefore I’d like to get your input into what the new Samui logo and banner should look like.
There are two parts to this competition.
Competition 1: Slogan
· Chang use “Are you green with envy?” which, despite myself, I have to admit that is rather good. Can you think of a slogan about Samui house? It doesn’t have to be a question, and it doesn’t have to mention our colour – it just has to be short, catchy and memorable and say something positive about who we are as a house.
Competition 2: Image
· Chang use an elephant’s head so obviously we will use a dragon. This could be a whole dragon or just the dragon’s head. It should be a bold and striking image. Personally I’m not thinking cute is the way forward here – ferocious and indomitable are more what I’ve got in mind!
You can enter either competition or both and it’s easy to do so – just send me an e-mail (maba@patana.ac.th) with your slogan or artwork before we break up for Christmas. Haven’t got a scanner to scan your image in? No worries – just come and give me a hard copy of your image and I’ll help you to scan it.
And your reward if you win? The glory of having your creative spirit immortalised forever as a Patana icon! Not enough? I think I can stretch to a Pizza lunch for you and a select group of your friends. May the smell of melted mozzarella spur you on to greater creative heights!
MVD (Most Valuable Dragon) for this week goes to Nat in Y10.
During the Inter-house basketball he was giving it 110% on the court and was a key player for Samui scoring the winning basket in one of the matches.
His dedication to his house was so great that he played until he dropped. Literally.
Nat fractured one of the bones in his ankle and had to go to hospital. You’ll see him around school in a wheel chair with a cast on his foot…
Small price to pay for the honour of being this week’s MVD though, right Nat?!
What a legend.
