SIXTH-formers marked their departure from a Malvern school with an eye-catching stunt.

Pupils at the Chase Technology College were responsible for a giant white stickman that appeared on the Malvern Hills.

The 300m high creation, made from almost 400 white bin bags taped together, was a goodbye gesture from a group of students, Richard Pitt, Craig Griffiths, Jamie Raynor, Tom Core, Ryan Atkinson and Gaz Atkinson, who have now left the school before sitting their A'Levels.

Mr Pitt, aged 18, of Upper Welland, said: "We have been at the Chase for seven years and last Thursday was our last day. We just wanted to do something quirky to say goodbye without leaving any lasting damage."

The man was created in the early hours of Thursday, but was swiftly cleared away by the Malvern Hills Conservators.
