Stuff/Marlborough Express visual journalist Brya Ingram chats to the media team at Springlands School about her journey into photography and videography. This had transitioned after school to working part-time at
The Marlborough Express, while giving the remainder of her time to growing her own photography business. “It s awesome that the kids are being given this opportunity at their age, and I take my hat off to Glen Mackie for making this happen for them,” Ingram said. She shared with the children how her work differed from what they were doing, and said she couldn’t wait to see how they developed and what they were able to produce.

Last week Springlands School took on holders Witherlea for the Primary Schools Challenge Cup. In an entertaining game, it was Springlands who came out as winners on the day in front of a good crowd of parents and supporters. The competition is for Year 6 and below and we encourage schools to consider a challenge during term 1. The Marlborough Rep side scored an emphatic outright win over Buller last weekend to get their Hawke Cup campaign right back on track. Will Smith had another 5 wicket bag including a hat-trick which ripped the heart out of Buller’s 1st innings of 112 (Sam Boyce 4-17).
