Congratulations St Mary’s College Gunnedah Weaving Group

St Mary's College Weaving Group have collaborated on a special project that showcases both their creativity and skills. Using the school’s colours, the students crafted individual woven mats, which were then beautifully combined to form a striking wall hanging. This piece was entered into the Handicrafts Exhibit at the Gunnedah Show, where it proudly won first prize. Well Done!
