Environmental Awareness Poster Competition
Environmental Awareness Poster Competition
This was an idea from Ben that was thought up in an Enviro Group meeting. They decided that it would be a good idea to promote caring for our environment in a visual way to display around our school.
All middle and senior classes jumped on board and the entries were all informative. The work put into them was impressive. They will be displayed around the school for visitors to view.
