After slurping the last sip of one of the delicious coffees from Burnt Butter, customers should take a second look at the side of the cup before chucking it in the bin.

Students of St Augustine’s College, in collaboration with Burnt Butter, have created a customised medium takeaway coffee cup to celebrate 120 years of the school in Kyabram.
The design was created solely by the Year 7 and 8 Partnerships for the Future students, who reached out to Burnt Butter café owner, Jess Scoble, to produce a cup that would showcase their designs.
The final cup features the Burnt Butter logo alongside the St Augustine’s logo and photos of Kyabram’s tourist attractions, architecture and artwork.
The design was made by Pathways for the Future program students in Year 7 and 8 in consultation with Burnt Butter owner Jess Scoble.

Students Mikayla Bennett, Lexie Wilkinson and Kailey Todd from Year 8 and Lexie Zobec from Year 7 were responsible for liaising with Ms Scoble, while receiving guidance from their teachers, Anthony Poppo and Steve Barrett.
“For Jess, things have to be of a really high standard when you are trying to market something, so to have all that feedback from Jess and what she expects as a business owner, we could have (students) develop skills in that area as well,” Mr Poppo said.
“They presented their designs (to Jess) put it onto the computer, received feedback from Jess and incorporated what Jess thought was necessary.
“Then using the kid’s strengths with their art and photography skills, they created a final model.”
The Partnerships for the Future program is a program for students who do not respond well to traditional learning methods, preferring alternative education for engagement.
The program has been running for seven years, and Mr Poppo said due to the large intake of female students this year, there was a desire to expand the program to suit those students.
“Historically, we have done projects designed for boys, such as making bird boxes, doing gym, or something like that – but this time around, the girls expressed they will do something really creative and different – and that’s how this sort of came to be,” Mr Poppo said.

Ms Scoble said when the school approached her to see if she would be interested in funding this project, and after seeing the designs from the students, she was in full support.
“We wanted the kids to feel like there was a purpose to what they did,” she said.
“For them to design the cup and then see it actually being used in the café – that’s really great.”
The students said it was cool to see their work come to life on the coffee cups, with teachers – who are regulars at the Allan St café – repping the coffee cups around the school themselves.
