Diocesan Christmas Story Art Competition
Each year, our Year 5 & 6 students create artworks and provide a written reflection on their work, to tell the true story of Christmas. From this collection of work each school nominates up to 3 works from each year group and send the artworks to Wollongong for judging.
This year the Diocese received 175 artworks and the judges selected 54 to be hung on display in the Wollongong Art Gallery. Of the 6 students nominated by SFCC, 5 were chosen for display. Of the 54 displayed, 17 were chosen to go to the Grand Hall at the Uni of Notre Dame in Sydney where they will be displayed with the best works from the Diocese of Sydney & Bathurst. Olivia A, Abbey T and Nikolas K were all chosen to go through to the Sydney competition.
4 Major Awards were judged from the 17 finalists. The Catholic Care Hope Award went to a student from the Illawarra.
The Director's Award went to Abbey T. Her artwork will also now feature on the Director of School's Christmas cards.
The Bishop's Award went to Olivia A. Her artwork will now feature on the Bishop's Christmas cards.
The Student Choice Award (judged by the 54 students who had works hung at the Wollongong Gallery) also went to Olivia A.
SFCC took out 3 of the 4 major awards which was a fantastic effort!
My sincere thanks also goes to our teaching staff who lead the work with the students.
Well done to our very talented students and our staff.
