Bristol Classics Hub: Ovid in the West Country Prize-giving Event
We were delighted to host 129 attendees (teachers, students, parents and siblings) at our annual Ovid in the West Country prize-giving event.
The event, which took place in the Great Hall at Wills Memorial Building, University of Bristol, on Monday 5th December (16:30-16:30), was designed to celebrate the achievements of KS3 students from local state schools who engaged with stories from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and produced a creative response to a myth of their choosing.
The event began with a display of students’ work, followed by a performance from professional storyteller Daniel Morden and the official presentation of certificates and awards to finalist students. Merit and special commendation prizes were given to every school, while three first prizes were awarded to students from Backwell School, Orchard School, and St Joseph’s Catholic College in Swindon.
