Whanganui student Tokararangi Poa has won a national award for his art work - a print entitled Descendants of Paikea.
The Whanganui High School student is the winner of the 2017 Wallace Secondary Schools Art Awards printmaking category.
Art teacher Graham Hall said Tokararangi's work was one of three Whanganui entries to make the final 30.
"There were over 400 entries from secondary schools around New Zealand and another Whanganui High School student as well as a Whanganui Girls' College artist had their work selected for the top 30."
High School's Lily Claypole and Girls' College student Elleira Tubayan also made the top 30 and their work will be exhibited at the Pah Homestead, TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre, Auckland until November 5.
