Donald Trumpkin wins Halloween competition

A highly innovative entry into the annual Halloween Pumpkin Carving Competition saw an entry carved in the likeness of a republican presidential nominee claim the top prize.

A strong field of over 2 dozen entries from across the school were submitted with a wide range of interpretations on a spooktacular theme. The winner, Donald Trumpkin, was submitted by George from Form 5. A close second was Nancy with her colourful interpretation of a spooky snail.

The winners were announced on Wednesday with the winners claiming a sweet spooky prize at registration.

Marketing Manager, Paul Swalwell, was one of the judges. He said: “Our pupil’s creativity always inspires me. This year we had a really strong field and some truly unique carvings. A huge well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition and made choosing a winner so difficult.
