A huge congratulations to Lola Fernandez for securing third place with two additional students, in the Year 4-6 category, Lola's work was identified as having a wonderful eye for composition with artistic talent. An even bigger congratulations to Saige Harper, she received an outstanding second place, in the Year 4-6 category, and a special mention on the day by, Ellen Jose's husband, Dr Toscano. He stated Saige's work was sophisticated, structured and has real artistic talent, an artwork Ellen Jose would've been proud of. Such an achievement and recognition for our students.
