Inter-House Pumpkin Carving Competition

Our Annual Inter-House Pumpkin Carving Competition is back. Once again, the Inter-House Pumpkin Carving Competition has a sustainability focus to promote both creativity and environmental awareness. Students are challenged to design and create imaginative pumpkin carvings with eco-friendly practices and are encouraged to carve, cook and grow for a greener tomorrow. 

🍽️ Pumpkin Recipes: Click here to discover mouth-watering pumpkin recipes. Don’t waste those tasty insides – turn them into delicious dishes the whole family will love, then photograph them and share your photos with Ms Hetherington.

🌱 Seed-Saving: Keep and dry out your pumpkin seeds. This is your chance to nurture your own pumpkin patch for next year’s competition.
