Date:8th of July 1966

Description:The school came up with a unique idea for a garden on the rooftop playground. Plants were grown inside used tyres instead of pots. This of course had the advantage of reducing risk of injury should a child run or fall against them. The school won a prize for the idea; the judging panel are seen here inspecting the display.
