National Families Week Art Competition - Claire Giles (Art)
Congratulations to Chris Downing from 2JE who has been a highly commended participant of the 2025 National Families Week Art Competition in the under 8 years age category. An exhibition to showcase a selection of entries, and a special book featuring winning and selected artworks is also being developed. Chris’ artwork will be displayed in both of these things.
Judges provided Chris the feedback -
“A cosy, safe and warm home where everyone can be together. A great use of the space to show this story.”
There were so many creative and thoughtful artworks from children across Victoria and Tasmania who entered this competition as well as 5 students from each year level at Mary MacKillop. Each entry told a unique story about what family means. While not every entry could receive an award, we want every participant to know how much we value their effort and imagination. Together, these artworks create a powerful reminder of the many ways families nurture and care for children.
