And the winners are...................

We've received 304 entries from children in the Drakenstein Municipal area and it was a difficult task to choose the winners. The panel of 5 judges were impressed with the high standard of the entries and the children's very creative take on the theme "World cup soccer 2010". The winners are:

6-8yrs:
1st - Mieke Botha (Laerskool Hugo Rust)
2nd - Jessie Lawrence (Amstelhof Primer)
3rd - Margo Apollis (Crafty Kids Wellington)
9-12yrs:
1st - John Claasen (Newton Primer)
2nd - Garth Williams (Hillcrest Primer)

Congratulations! Baie geluk!
