We were awarded a 2nd place and a highly commended. An amazing achievement.

It was an outstanding achievement to have three of our after school classes group works selected finalists with such a huge number of participants this year of 1600 students in total with 1400 artworks including group works entering  the competition.

Congratulations to our fabulous young artists, you are all amazing.

We also want to thank the parents who were able to come to Parliament house for the award ceremony. We appreciate your support.

Finalist works will be exhibited at the Surry Hills Library and the Botanical Garden for the month of September.
