Proving their keen eye for design, nine John Paul College students have scooped top-three placings at the 2012 Young Designer Awards.
The school came out on top in three of the national competition's fashion categories, which are judged not only on the finished product but the entire design process.
It was a clean sweep for JPC in the intermediate "Quilting, Adornments, Jewellery & Embellishments" category, with Year 10 sewing students Breanna Banks, Maria Gardner and Mackenzie Van Fulpen first, second and third respectively with their hand-stitched quilts.
The quilts were the main class project for the first two terms, with students having to research and produce a country or culture themed design folio before having to stitch it together.
Breanna, 14, chose Canada as the inspiration for her quilt, which features a snowy owl surrounded by maple leaves.
