 Torres Strait Corn Competition
Congratulations to the yr 1-3 class at Tagai College’s Masig Island (Yorke) Campus for placing first in the 2011 Corn Growing Competition. Competition was fierce this year with a large number of campuses showing their outstanding gardening abilities.
First Place: Masig – 175cm Prize: $500 Col Jones credit
Second Place: Tamwoy Prep – 156cm Prize: $250 Col Jones credit
Third Place: Mer – 122.5cm Prize: $150 Col Jones credit
Encouragement Awards: Badu Yrs 6/7, Malu Os and Mabuiag Yrs 1/2/3 Prize: $100 Col Jones credit
All 6 campuses will now see the ‘fruits of their labour’ by sharing over $1,000 in prizes. All students who participated had a huge amount of fun while learning how easy or in some cases difficult it is to grow your own food. A big thankyou goes out to the Torres Strait Regional Authority Land & Sea Management Unit for sponsoring the competition as well as the teaching staff and Heads of Campus who put in the extra effort for their students. Look out for the giant pumpkins in 2012! |
