Sustainability was at the heart of this year’s Patana Fun Day, as members of the Student Environment Committee hosted the annual Green Food Stall Awards, recognising vendors who are making meaningful efforts to reduce their environmental impact.

After visiting the stalls throughout the morning, student judges spoke with vendors about their practices and supply chains, learning more about how food businesses can contribute to a more sustainable future. The awards aim to encourage Fun Day vendors to embrace environmentally responsible approaches while raising awareness among the community.

The student-judges focused on several sustainability criteria, including reducing single-use plastics, offering biodegradable packaging, sourcing local and seasonal ingredients, providing plant-based or organic options, and considering carbon footprints through responsible use of electricity and water.

Following careful deliberation, the students announced the 2026 Green Food Stall Award winners:

3rd Place – Yellow Spoon
2nd Place – Macaria
1st Place – Vistro

The Student Environment Committee congratulated all vendors who participated, noting that many stalls had taken thoughtful steps to improve sustainability practices this year.

Events like Fun Day provide a valuable opportunity for the Patana community to celebrate together while also reflecting on the choices we make as consumers. Small steps, such as choosing vendors who prioritise sustainable ingredients and packaging, or remembering to bring reusable water bottles and tote bags, can make a meaningful difference. It was great to see some new vendors in shopping street too, offering proudly eco-friendly products.

A big thank you goes to the PTG for hosting such a vibrant community event and to the vendors who continue to support Patana’s growing commitment to sustainability.
