The PASCAL ChroniclePHOTOGRAPHIC CLUBFor the 2012-2013 academic year the Photographic Clubs consisted of approximately 30 members eachfrom all year groups. Pupils had the opportunity to develop and understand the basic techniques ofphotography and refer to the appropriate terminology. These aims were achieved through class lectures(by the club leaders and guest speakers), demonstrations, and fieldwork. Members went on three fieldtripsin order to apply some of the techniques discussed in class (photojournalism, street photography, natureand cityscapes, and architecture photography involving shapes and light). The fieldtrips included locationssuch as downtown Lefkosia and surrounding areas, Finikoudes beach and the village of Kakopetria.Finally, selected members participated in internal competitions and competitions organized by the Ministryof Education and other international organizations, such as FIAP.Figure 1 Club 2: Antonis Georgiou “Light andShadow”Figure 2 Club 2: Marialena Georgiou"Movement"Figure 3 Club 2: Minas Constantinou " Cityscapes"DUKE OF EDINBURGH CLUB (DOE)My DOE expedition was very nice and fascinating. My team and I wereso excited and happy for this expedition because we had heard fromothers that it would be fun. We cooked, we walked a lot and we had fun.It was a really nice experience that brought our group together in difficulttimes, where we were called to use the skills we had learned in class in asurvival situation.
