Congratulations to these students who were either category winners or who received high commendations for their overall body of work.

Colours of the Earth
280 million years ago, the Hallett Cove Conservation
Park was covered in ice.
Once it started to melt, a lake formed over the area, collecting numerous natural sediments which then turned to rock. This collection of miscellaneous deposits gives the area its unusual-shaped and coloured rock commonly known as the Sugarloaf, a characteristically colourful part of our earth.
