Middleton Public School continued its success of recent years in the Sims Metal Waste to Art and design competition by taking out first place for it’s work in the Building/Sculpture 2D section.
Under the supervision of Mrs Helen Standen, all 250 students completed the colourful work titled ‘Wastefall’ through the use of plastic lids and bottle-tops.
All up the ‘Wastefall’ features some 50 strands made up of hundreds of pieces that were brought in by students and strung together to resemble a waterfall feature. One strand alone consists of 170 lids and bottle-tops.
Mrs Standen is pictured with students (left to right) Maeve O’Brien, Matilda Langham, Hayden Lamond and Caylan Neilson.
