We are thrilled to announce that FIVE out of the ten awesome finalists for the Patagonia Chocolates Upcycled Couture Competition are from our own John McGlashan College.

This is our exclusive upcycled fashion competition for students to source and put together a ready-to-wear outfit, from recycled/thrifted/2nd hand clothing stores from around Dunedin.
