• Year 9 Fashion Sustainability Workshop

  Wed 27 Nov 2024 Ms Finnermore

  Year 9 sustainability workshop

   

  On the 27th Of November year 9 were treated to a ‘Fashion Sustainability Workshop.’ The students learnt that Sustainable fashion is a term for clothing made taking the human and environmental impacts of production into account. It can also includes items that are sold second hand to extend their life.

  The students brought in lots of recyclable materials and the workshop lead brought in lots of old clothes, material and clothing items that had been donated to her. The students then had an hour design and create an outfit from the masses of resources on offer.

   

  The end results were fantastic, the students brought so much creativity and imagination to the outfits. The students collaborated so well, the workshop lead and staff helping all commented on how well they did! The session ended in a fashion show of the outfits they had made.

   

  Well done year 9!

We are proud of their efforts and the positive impact they are making."
