Derry City and Strabane District Council have been encouraging Community Groups, Youth Groups, Farmers and
Businesses in the Strabane Area to take part in this year’s Celebrations for Hallowe’en by creating Hallowe’en Themed Hay Sculptures that will form part of a Hallowe’en Trail at this year’s festival. Last year saw visitors and locals driving around the district as spooky figures emerged from the landscape including over sized spiders, bats, aliens and skeletons. Students studying on the joinery and early years courses at the NWRC Strabane Campus launched the Hay Sculpture Project with St. Catherine’s PS on 8th September in support of National Literacy Day. The project is designed to help celebrate the National Literacy Trust’s 25 Year Anniversary by encouraging Pupils of all ages to read more. Year 1 -4 Pupils from St Catherine’s PS have been drawing characters from Julia Donaldson’s “Room on the Broom” and in pupils in Years 5-7, some of the key characters from Harry Potter. The winning designs from each category are being turned into the final sculptures
and will be set in the grounds of the NWRC Strabane Campus for all the children and their families to come along and view. We are truly delighted to be taking part with NWRC and have no doubt that this exhibition in Strabane Campus will be a joy to see and will mean so much to our children! So look out for the Hay Sculptures
in Strabane Campus Derry Road this Hallowe’en! St. Catherine’s and NWRC (North West Regional College) join forces to create “Spooktacular” Hallowe’en Hay Sculptures.
