Pupils from Ysgol Gymraeg Caerffili are to have their artwork displayed on Stagecoach buses in Caerphilly County Borough after winning a competition.
The ‘What does Green mean to you’ competition invited pupils to draw a picture about something they thought captured the essence of the Green message.
Catrin James was the winner of the 8 to 11-year-old category with her painting, using the outline of Wales to help convey her message.
Jacob Sturgess won the 4 to 7 age group with a brilliant painting entitled “I love Mother Nature”.
In the 8 to 11-year-old category pupil Lara Williams came second while William and Owen Jones and Gwenllian Gwynn came joint third.
In the 4 to 7 age group Gwenllian Davies was second and third place was taken by Ben Williams.
John Gould, managing director of Stagecoach in South Wales, said: “We were so impressed with the entries that we wanted to share the winning ones with the entire community – and what better way than on our buses in Caerphilly?
“I’m sure that everyone who travels on our services in Caerphilly will agree that this is a great way of brightening up our buses.”
Lynn Griffiths, headteacher at Ysgol Gymraeg Caerffili said: “We feel very proud as a school to have been given the opportunity of working so closely with Stagecoach on this exciting project.
“Our children are keen to maintain their knowledge of environmental issues and thereby maintain our Green Flag status. We look forward to seeing the designs which have a clear and powerful environmental message emblazoned on the insides of Stagecoach buses throughout Caerphilly.”
Stagecoach in South Wales and Ysgol Gymraeg Caerffili have thanked Caerphilly County Borough Council, and in particular Susan Davies, for their help and support with the project.
