At Tanjil South Primary School, we’re always looking for hands-on ways to encourage creativity, sustainability, and teamwork - and this year’s Melbourne International Scarecrow Competition was the perfect opportunity.

Our students worked together to design and build a scarecrow using only recycled materials, proudly entering our creation, affectionately named Breakenstine, into the statewide competition. While we didn’t take home the win, we were incredibly proud of the effort, imagination, and collaboration shown by our small but mighty group of nine students.

Breakenstine now has a special place in our veggie garden, keeping watch over the crops and serving as a fun reminder of what we can achieve together.
