Prized innovations for clean planet

One of Narre North Primary School's winning future car designs.

You think self-driving cars are ingenious?
Try the ideas of Narre Warren North Primary School students, who have drawn plans for vehicles that clean the planet, recycle waste and save injured wildlife and lost pets.
Their works were judged as among Australia’s top three schools in the Toyota Dream Car Contest, winning a $2000 cheque as well as $600 in art supplies.
A proud art teacher Danielle Searles said the students were spurred to think about climate change and the balance between our ‘needs’ and ‘wants’.
“I look forward to pursuing elements of environmental impact in the art room in the future.”
