Christmas Story Art Competition, 2022 

Schools from the Archdiocese of Sydney, Dioceses of Wollongong and Bathurst, and Catholic students in State schools, were invited to take part in ‘The Christmas Story Art Exhibition and Competition 2022’– a visual arts exhibition and competition for students in Years 5 and 6. This is an initiative to celebrate and explore children’s creative, artistic and reflective ability in expressing understandings of the Christmas story.

We would like to congratulate and acknowledge the following students from Years 5 and 6 who submitted artworks into the competition. These students gave up their mornings and afternoons to engage in the artistic process and reflective tasks. We were impressed by their level of passion, commitment, enthusiasm and their support for one another.

Congratulations to the following students who entered:

Year Six applicants: Sophie Davis, Paige Grant, Maya Janes, Piper Johnson, Isabella Mansfield, Edie Tyson. 

Year Five applicants: Jade Anderson, Arabella Crone, Emma Doughty, Femke Elenbaas, Megan Hang, Sienna Livermore, Marguerite Murphy, Sophia Ribeiro-Benn.

Thank you to the staff who supported these students and mentored them through the creative process- Mrs Linda Conroy, Mrs Liane Morris, Mrs Marilina Watson, Mrs Anna Siokos.
