Students at the Neale-Wade Academy in March were challenged to make up a hamper using cardboard boxes donated by a local business.
Atif Iqbal, assistant head of Post-16 at the school, challenged all form groups to decorate and fill the boxes donated by Smurfit Kappa with non-perishable food items for our local foodbank.
After the final judging had taken place, Knowles Transport sent a lorry to deliver the hampers to the foodbank.
Form groups worked on their hampers during tutor time (25 mins per day) during the past half-term.
The judges then chose a winner from each year group. The six6 winning hampers were then judged by Liz Neal and Bob Dunlop from Smurfitt Kappa and Barbara Taylor from the foodbank.
Jason Wing, executive principal said: “This is a fantastic effort by our students, ably supported by their parents, to give something back to those less fortunate at this time of year.”
