A 13 year old student of The Sutherland School Trench has launched her first web site. Katrina Houghton was encouraged to launch her web site to show off her natural talent for photography.
Katrina has Dyslexia and other Special Educational Needs, but despite the difficulties that dyslexia offers, Katrina is still aiming high and wants to show other young people, that they need not be a draw back. But you can use other talents to get a head.
Katrina is a year 9 pupil who has been informed that during year 10 she will be sitting GCSE’s and in year 11 she will be sitting As Levels in design and technology.
Katrina wants to set a good example for others to follow and hopes to raise funds to assist others and buy specialist software such as kurtzweil through sales of her digital photographs.
Katrina’s Web site can be visited at
The Web site was officially launched on Sunday 23rd March 2008 and has already seen a number of visitors from the County.
Although only 13 years of age Katrina has received a number of enquiries about her photography and even offers a
“Request a photo service”
for those who want a particular photo from a location in Shropshire but are not able to go themselves.
The site is receiving support from John Franklyn of Telford Council Watch and has been offered additional sponsorship for a full size website via local IT specialist www.servtec.co.uk.
The full web site is now up and running, with two Galleries containing photographs ready for purchase, more photo’s will be added very soon, so keep visiting.
Katrina’s mother said,
“Katrina is quite a determined young lady who has always been extremely creative and had a keen interest in photography, this will certainly allow her to show case her talents in a public forum”
Katrina herself has been really excited and said,
“I am so happy to get my web site, I am really excited”
This Web site will allow Katrina to show case her talents and represents
“Digital Art In a Digital World” using latest technology and allowing 24hr 7 day a week access.
We hope you will enjoy visiting this web site.
I for one firmly believe that we should be doing all we can to encourage young people in our communities to showcase their talents in a positive way, I hope this will encourage others, Katrina has put a lot of time and effort in this project.
