Dairy Australia said the Terara students' entry "caught the eyes of judges for their extensive understanding of the curriculum materials and creative capabilities".

The Terara entry was dubbed Mrs Millbank, and featured images including a black cockatoo, an ear of corn, milk trucks, cows and a golden bell frog - all depicting different aspects of Terara life.

The school's principal, Emma Chalker, said the students were all excited to hear they had been highly commended in the promotion.

"We won some prizemoney, which was nice," Ms Chalker said.

The competition was judged on learning journals prepared as part of the process, discussing the themes of the cow's artwork, where it came from, and what lessons were studied.
