On 17 November 2015, The Minister for Primary Industries, and Minister for Lands and Water, The Hon. Niall Blair informed the NSW Parliament's Legislative Council of the inspiring work of this year's Archibull Prize winner, Matraville Sports High School.
"Last week I had the great pleasure of announcing the winners of the 2015 Archibull Prize awards—better known as the "Archibull". The awards were presented at Sydney Showground last week, where I was able to meet with students and see all the brilliant artworks and projects completed during the program", the Minister said.
"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".
This is exciting recognition from the NSW Parliament and we are proud of all of the staff and students who helped out on this project. The Minister also said that he "recently 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". We look forward to that as well!
