ENGIE funded three steel sculptures to accompany the installation of a new educational endemic plant garden site at the front of the Hay War Memorial High School grounds. The students will design the sculptures which will encapsulate a sense of belonging by depicting the two high school houses - Kangaroo and Currawong. A potential third sculpture will display the word 'Welcome' in both Wiradjuri and Nari Nari Aboriginal languages.
