Linwood Avenue School wins Paint it All Black competition

A joint effort from Rooms 12 and 13 at Christchurch’s Linwood Avenue School has won this year’s Paint it All Black competition, and they’re being rewarded with a visit from some of their All Blacks heroes ahead of their Steinlager Series match against old rivals France.

The Paint it All Black competition encourages classes to get creative in supporting the All Blacks, and Rooms 12 and 13 went all-out, producing a Hobbit-themed entry. A cardboard cut-out of Steve Hansen, dressed as Gandalf the Grey, overlooked a blacked-out cave environment, with students producing black scrambled eggs, black damper and pears with chocolate chips, and Marmite and cheese toasties. Rooms 8 and 16 at Thorrington School came a close second.

Twenty-eight schools entered the competition, run by Christchurch City Council and Classic Hits. Schools who entered the competition were up for prizes of rugby tickets, electronics vouchers and vouchers for sports equipment courtesy of the New Zealand Rugby Union.

Paint it All Black was run with support from the Canterbury Rugby Union, the All Blacks Steinlager Series, 91ZM and Classic Hits.
