Kyamma Thompson (one student from the winning team) said, “We built the school using materials that our Kaurna ancestors probably would have used like mushroom steams, oak leaves, and wood. The best thing about this was I got to learn a bit more about my fellow students. Despite all the disagreements, we managed to bring all our ideas together in the end.”
