It may seem challenging to capture self management in a
photo, but Rotary Park School pupil Katie Gotlieb mastered
it.

award-winning photos. Photo by Craig Baxter.
She came second in the primary photography section of the
TiG National Schools Challenge held last month.
Faced with the task of taking one photo a day for a week
which related to the New Zealand curriculum key competencies
of thinking, using language, symbols and texts, managing
self, relating to others, participating and contributing,
Katie rose to the challenge.
"It's just a matter of thinking. You've got to really look
around and see what objects you've got to help set up the
photos," she said.
The judges described her photos as fun and technically good.
Katie said she hoped to pursue photography.
Other areas of the competition were music, design, maths and
story.
Of the 24 other pupils awarded a prize, she was the only
South Islander.
