Rutherford High student Laree Wasson has been highly commended in a national logo design competition run across Australia by the Beacon Foundation.
Year 10 student Laree Wasson was one of only eight students highly commended from more than 80 entries Australia wide.
The Beacon Foundation, a national not for profit organisation working with schools across Australia to help students with school to work transition via it’s unique No Dole program, launched the logo competition in July of this year.
“We wanted to involve the students in our search for a new, modern logo, and who better to interpret what that may look like, than the students we work with,” Beacon Foundation’s Chief executive Scott Harris said.
Highly Commended recipients came from all over Australia with judges impressed with the array of entries, effort and thought that had gone into the designs.
Principal Michael Whiting says “Laree is to be congratulated for her initiative in entering this competition”. “We are delighted that her design has been recognised with a Highly Commended award”.
