COOL WINNERS
Maryborough Education Centre students shone bright in the Cool Spaces Logo Design Competition, taking out three awards. Over 200 school students across our Shire took part in the competition.
Pictured from left to right: MEC Year 10 student Will (commended), winner MEC Year 7 Art and Design student Davi, Mayor Grace La Vella and MEC Year 7 student Will (commended). Davi's winning logo will be used to identify Cool Space sites from this summer, with an official launch on December 3.
Two students from Dunolly Primary School will also receive awards of commendation.
The competition was held to engage students in learning about heat health and to unearth an outstanding logo to brand Cool Spaces, which will be set up this summer to provide places people can go to keep cool. At a minimum they offer air conditioning, comfy seating, drinking water, toilets and phone charging at no charge.
A big thank you to everyone who took part and the exceptional quality of their entries.
