artists featured. West Melton artist<br />
Henry Turner (right) received the<br />
coveted Malvern Community Arts<br />
Council premier award for his<br />
painting Echos.<br />
Judge Shirin Khosraviani<br />
said Echos was an outstanding<br />

careful use of technique. “There<br />
is plenty to explore in the<br />
mark-making and the potential<br />
narrative,” Khosraviani said.<br />

Southbridge School<br />
pupils at one with nature<br />
Southbridge School’s year 2 and 3 have planted native trees and<br />
hunted for bugs on farmland alongside the Lee River.<br />
About 30 pupils helped plant 400 trees as part of a Kids<br />
Discovery Plant-Out Day, supported by Te Ara Kākāriki and<br />
Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture.<br />
Teacher Simon Dakers said it had been inspiring for the pupils<br />
to take their learning about biodiversity and sustainability<br />
into the field. They would continue to be involved at the site,<br />
monitoring it and calculating the presence of five native birds<br />
species and the percentage of plant survival in the first year.<br />
Dakers said a bug hunt with Environment Canterbury’s senior<br />
youth engagement adviser Matt Stanford (pictured) had been<br />
particularly successful.<br />
Pupils included (from left) Lucy Lemon, Violet Quilter<br />
and Blake Sinton. They found all manner of creatures, from<br />
centipedes and beetles to spiders and moths. They added their<br />
discoveries to the iNaturalist app, which allows findings to be<br />
logged by scientists.<br />
