Prickly Polly Wins The Springs Great Scarecrow Challenge
Bunker's Hill State School had a great showing at The Springs Day Out, held on Saturday 13th September.
It was the biggest fundraising event of the year, supporting the vital work of the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation.
It was a full day of family fun, with fantastic activities for all ages, delicious food, and a vibrant market showcasing local producers and makers.
Primary schools were invited to participate in the Great Scarecrow Challenge.
The Prep students and teachers from Bunker’s Hill State School created a masterpiece called Prickly Polly.
Prickly Polly was voted the winner from 17 scarecrows that were on display at the Springs Day Out.
The school won a voucher for $500 to spend at The Springs.
Thanks to our school community for coming along and voting for Prickly Polly.
Prickly Polly was made up of a mixture of recycled materials and succulent plants from the school grounds.
She was created to help also showcase The Succulent Fest, held last Sunday.
