The C.H.S.S. gym was host
to around 700 photographs
on June 7 for the school's 6th
annual photography show.
These photographs were
taken by around 40 students,
staff, alumni and community
members.
"Most times when people
come in they say wow, I
never expected this," said
teacher and organizer Jacqui
Vercruyssen.
Many of the photographs
were on sale via a silent
auction. All the proceeds
are to go back to the pho-
tography program at
C.H.S.S. for things like new
lenses, etc. The photogra-
phy class decides collabo-
ratively where to put the
money.
The stunning display was
completely organized and
put together by the grade 12
photography class. Teacher
Jacqui Vercruyssen started
the show 6 years ago. She
has helped run it every year
since, and every year it gets
bigger and includes more
elements. For example this
year, some students con-
structed their own cameras
from kits, and there was a
display of photos taken from
drones.
The class collected photo-
graphs for six weeks, and the
two weeks before the show
were devoted to printing the
photos, framing select shots,
making a slide show and
more.
This year, many alumni
submitted photos from all
over the world.

"My former students that
still keep in contact with me
said oh my gosh, your show
is coming up, and they still
make submissions," said
Vercruyssen.
They didn't want the show
to be a contest, so 700 of the
800 submissions were dis-
played in one shape or form,
whether that was blown up
and framed, in a 4 x 6 frame,

Everything is printed in
