Coral Reef Crochet Project
We warmly invite you to dive into our Coral Reef Crochet Project for our new Science, Enterprise, Technology and Innovation (SETI) Centre. This joyful, community-wide initiative invites students, staff, families, Old Girls and friends of the School to join in crafting a vibrant, large-scale coral reef installation made up of hundreds of unique crochet pieces. All skill levels are welcome.
Once completed, it will be proudly displayed in the SETI Centre foyer as a permanent feature.

General Instructions
A few ground rules for your creations:
- Yarn should be 6-10ply.
- Yarn can be any fibre (cotton, acrylic, blends, wool, etc.).
- Coral species and designs other than those included in this book are welcome.
- No sea creatures or animals, with the exception of starfish, will be accepted.
- Specialty yarns (sparkly, fluffy, etc.) are welcome.
- Please avoid all-black or all-white corals – small accents in these colours are fine, but we want the reef to be full of colour and life.
- Use leftover yarn from past projects if possible – let’s keep it sustainable.
- Individual final pieces should not exceed 30cm x 30cm x 30cm.
- Every piece adds to the beauty of the whole – whether it’s a simple spiral or a detailed anemone, your contribution matters.
Submissions and Deadline
