Education Service Christmas Card Competition – Winner Announced

As the festive season approaches, the Education Service launched an exciting Christmas card competition, inviting pupils from our schools to showcase their artistic talents and celebrate the true spirit of Christmas. We had so many great entries. We shortlisted 5 entries and chose 2 winners!

The Competition was open to pupils of all ages and the themes this year were:

  • O come all ye faithful (Adeste fideles)
  • O little town of Bethlehem
  • Silent night, holy night
  • Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

The Christmas card competition is a wonderful initiative that combines creativity, education, and faith. It provides a platform for young pupils to express their artistic talents while celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. Below are all the entries we received.
