Holy cow!

Pictured right: Stanthorpe State School students with their cows. From top: Adriana Petroccitto, Mia Binney, Cooper Oliver, Jack Reedy, Lauren Walker, Nicholas Nye, Kobi Jones, Josie McNamara, Jordan McEwen, Dan Chapman, Keegan Paulson and Mia Werner.

Stanthorpe State School students have been getting into the spirit of the 2012 Australian Year of the Farmer, joining the herd of artists seeking to decorate special cut-out cows as part of a planned nation wide display!
Inspired by our primary producers and designed to promote our proud region on a national scale, the Australian Farmer of the Year Cow Art is developing into a massive event, with a display of ‘cow art’ planned to be on show in Toowoomba in early October.
With over 1200 cut-out cows having been distributed around the country to various people and organisations, including schools, aged care facilities and land care groups, we are delighted to be part of such a positive event and look forward to seeing our cows amongst a half acre of art display in the very near future!
