Wool4School is an annual student design competition encouraging budding fashion designers to show their nation what they're made of. First launched in Australia in 2012, Wool4School now involves over 100,000 students worldwide. By putting wool into the minds of our future fashion designers, Wool4School encourages students' innovative thinking and creative design. Year 10 Design & Technology Textiles students have been working on their submissions for this prestigious competition. The brief was: 'Wool Reimagined: Repair, renew, repurpose, and innovate. Take what’s old and make it new!’ Students had to design a unique outfit that blends both old and new, featuring pre-loved items, using wool design techniques, and incorporating a minimum of 70% Merino wool.

The students did themselves and the school proud. Nine students achieved a silver award and a further eight achieved bronze. The highest overall student in the centre was Elina D (Y13). A massive congratulations to all students for their hard work and dedication.
