In Term Three, all the students from Harakeke, Tuatahi and Tuarua were involved in a Wearable Arts competition.
Supreme Award Winner 2010 - Rainbow Ribbon
In small groups in each class, students had to design a wearable piece of art with a consistent theme, and then get together all the materials they needed.
Waiting nervously for the awards
In Tuarua, the only materials which were allowed to be new were fasteners (glue, tapes, screws and nails, etc.). Everthing else had to be recycled.
