71st Texaco Children’s Art Competition
We were thrilled to receive a letter from Bronagh Carron (Texaco Marketing Manager) to confirm that an entry from our school to the 71st Texaco Children’s Art Competition reached the final stages of the judging process. This year, almost 20,000 submissions were received.
Congratulations to Yelyzaveta Minakova on receiving a Certificate of Commendation. Yelyzaveta was in 5th class at the time of entry. This is the first time that we recall a pupil in our school receiving a commendation and/or prize in this prestigious art competition.
