Malet Lambert pupils had the opportunity to design some thought-provoking cups for use at the new Starbucks coffee shop on Clough Road.
Alongside two local artists, pupils were recruited to design 24 cups for sale within store, with the theme of mental health awareness.
The theme was inspired by Hull Mind, Clough Road Starbucks’ chosen charity, who raise money to support people with mental health issues.
Starbucks were looking for a total of 84 cups to be designed to show that 84 men a week commit suicide and bring their #breakthestigma campaign to the forefront.
Miss Walker, Head of Technology, shared the opportunity with pupils to give them a platform to show off their skills for a good cause.
She said, “We wanted to showcase the budding artists and designers of Malet Lambert but also to share the message of the good work Hull Mind does.
“One of our cups, by Year 7 pupil Lydia, brought Mind employees to tears because it was so beautifully designed with words of support and understanding – they awarded her a special prize for it!”
Miss Walker launched a house competition for all pupils to submit their designs.
The best designs were chosen to come to technology on Friday afternoon to draw out their designs onto the cups using an array of different Sharpies.
All 84 cups are now on sale in the new store.
