Ellie – whose dad is a professional photographer – will hold the post for a year before handing over to a another of the town’s students.
Her first job is to capture the mayor’s Bowling Match between the town council and Avon Bowling Club.
Mayor Victoria Alcock said: “We hope that she finds her new role fulfilling and enjoyable and we look forward to welcoming her to her first engagement next month.”
