Mayor's Christmas Card Competition Winners

This is the second year the Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition has been run. The theme was ‘What makes an Australian Christmas?' A recurring theme in entries was sunshine, barbecues, native Australian animals and Santa in shorts. The competition was open to Year 3 and 4 students from schools within the City of Burnside.

Anna, a Year 4 student at Linden Park Primary School, was declared the winner at a ceremony on Tuesday 7 December. The four finalists were all designs which really spoke of Christmas. They were vibrant and colourful. Anna’s card had the theme ‘Christmas is about caring’. It shows a young girl who has hurt herself playing ball and a kangaroo wearing a Santa hat offering to help. Anna said that caring means “We help each other”.

Anna’s mother Venus, said she was very proud of her daughter. She said the win was unexpected but Anna has always loved to draw. She also enjoyed dancing and gymnastics and had to make special time in her busy school schedule to draw her design.

More than 50 entries were received and the Mayor chose three runners up. They were Tiziana, 8, in Year 3 at Linden Park Primary School and Indigo and Alice, both 9 and in Year 4 at Rose Park Primary School.
