MEMBER DELIGHTED BY STUDENTS’ EFFORTS
Federal Member for Berowra says he is delighted by the response to the invitation he issued to local primary schools to have their pupils design his 2010 Christmas card.
‘I received lots of wonderful entries from a range of local schools including Hornsby North Primary School, Hornsby South Primary School, Tangara School for Girls, Arcadia Public School, and Pennant Hills Public School.’
Mr Ruddock said it had been ‘uplifting’ to see the message of Christmas depicted by the children.
‘Some were whimsical, some traditional, some depicted the spirituality of the season, while others showed their artistic talents with a riot of colourful concepts.’
After much careful consideration and discussion, Mr Ruddock said he and his wife Heather had chosen an entry submitted by a Kindy student from Tangara School for Girls.
‘It is a wonderful line drawing by Matilda Dineen whom I am looking forward to congratulating personally when I present her prize.’
