Wingham Public School has won the primary schools division of the Greater Taree City Council Sesquicentenary banner competition.
Schools across the Manning Valley were asked to design banners reflecting the district over the past 150 years and last Wednesday a number of students representing the school eagerly accepted first prize- a digital camera from Noeledge systems - during a special ceremony in Taree.
The judges praised the winning design for its simplicity and strength saying:
"The banner by Wingham Public School is particularly well composed and painted with great precision."
In bold colours the banner depicts the Manning River, Wingham Brush a heritage building and some bats and cows. Wingham's famous log is also there to represent the region's timber industry.
Teacher Jenny Ireland coordinated the project and conducted a mini-competition within the school to come up with the best overall concept.
She says that many children are proud of the region's heritage both natural and cultural and particularly as the school is in a rural location the children identify with this aspect of the community.
Once the final design was decided upon it was then transferred on to the special acrylic banner provided by council.
The high school division of the banner competition was taken out by St Clares.

If you love the arts, Thursday night in downtown Zanesville was designed for you.
The winner of the logo design competition for the Artist Colony of Zanesville was announced at Studio Z Photography on S. 7th St. Thursday evening.
Travis Short, 32, who grew up in Zanesville and is now a free-lance artist and advertising director in Cleveland, was the winner of the 87 entries from all over Ohio.
Short said he entered the competition after his mother called him and told him of the artist colony and new studios opening throughout the Zanesville area.
"When I was growing up there wasn't a lot for artists to do in this area," Short said. "I think what this studio and Alan Cottrill are doing for the area, along with the many artists who are moving here to be inspired and share their work, is a good start."
Short believes encouraging art among the young is needed.
Agreeing with Short are two artists who also had a grand opening of their gallery and studio, Studio 202, Susan Nash and Susan Stubbins.
Their gallery and studio, located at 47 N. 4th St., opened with displays of their quilted pieces.
Stubbins proudly displayed three pieces of quilted wall hangings made from memories collected from her mother-in-law.
Chole, 4, and Cassie Eicher, 7, were two aspiring artists who really liked Stubbins work.

A design by an unknown newcomer has been selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 77th Academy Awards commemorative poster.
Brett Davidson, who has been on staff at the Academy for 10 years and currently serves as the organization's information systems support specialist, was competing against dozens of established artists who submitted designs for the 77th Oscar poster.
Davidson's design was chosen through a blind selection process by Academy executives and members of its Board of Governors.
"We looked at dozens of designs but there was something about Brett's image that we all were drawn to; it was a unanimous decision," said Academy Executive Director Bruce Davis. "It was only after we had made the decision that we found out the designer was one of our own staff. It's great for Brett to have this opportunity."
A striking image, Davidson's design incorporates brilliant squares of pink, orange, green and blue as a colorful backdrop for the Oscar statuette.
"I was so excited when I found out my design had been chosen," said Davidson. "Graphic design has always been my passion, so it's unbelievably gratifying that my work will be used to promote such a prestigious event."
Davidson studied both film and graphic design at the University of Miami in Florida. After moving to Los An
