HIGH-ACHIEVING students will see their award-winning sculpture feature as part of an exhibition during next year's Olympics - and shown in the Houses of Parliament.

Stockton Riverside College's Prince's Trust Middlesbrough Team 7, which was led by Claire McGarvey, won the Community Impact Award at the Prince's Trust North East Celebrate Success Awards at Sage, in Gateshead.

The project involved the group linking with the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum in Stewart Park, Middlesbrough, and they also worked with George Nuku, from New Zealand, who taught them about the Maori culture.

The group raised the £400 to buy the wood and the museum paid for David Gross, a local carver, to support them with the carving project.

Now the Stories of the World Project has chosen it to be part of an exhibition during the Olympics and, after being displayed at the Houses of Parliament, it will become a main part of an exhibition at Middlesbrough's Dorman Museum.

Ms McGavery said: "The group displayed amazing dedication and commitment to the project. I am very proud of their achievements."
