The Minister said of the Grand Champion
I am pleased to announce the 2015 winner of the prestigious Grand Champion Archibull award was Matraville Sports High School, from Chifley in the State’s east. Students should be proud of the work they achieved in their design of a fiberglass cow as a “cow-ch”, which is artistic and informative but acts as a functional seat. I will enjoy seeing this work in my office reception every day.
and made mention of the impact on visitors to his office of last year’s winner
Recently I had the pleasure of having morning tea with last year’s winners and have hosted their award-winning bull in my foyer. I look forward to the opportunity to do the same for the 2015 winners. I recently hosted a parliamentary delegation from France. They took many photos of the bull and are aiming to roll out a similar program in France.
Each year the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Archibull Prize winner is hosted in the offices of the NSW Minister for Primary Industries and the Director General’s office
In 2016 students from Matraville Sports High School will visit the Minister’s office for morning tea. Where as you can imagine, the visit creates a huge buzz in the school.
