Secondary Schools Furniture Construction Awards

The inaugural Secondary Schools competition, organised by the

Central Districts Branch of the New Zealand Farm Forestry Association ( INC), was

held last week. The Association’s aim is to promote the use of sustainably grown,

decorative timbers.

Additional sponsorship for the awards was provided by Bunnings, and UCOL staff

judged the entries in two categories, Year 11 (Level One) and Year 12 (Level Two).

Awatapu College students won five of the six awards presented, a stunning effort.

Congratulations to the following students, and to Mr Harris, their teacher:

Level One:

First: Ethan Pook

Second: Jackson Broome

Third Corey: Foothead

Level Two:

First: Stefan Lauridsen

Third: Rebecca McCrea

Entries are on display in the public library until the end of this week.
