I am pleased to introduce 11-year-old Sophia from Oakleigh Grammar, Hotham’s Christmas Card Competition winner this year.

'The budgies Berry and Chirpy are my pets I got when they were a few months old for my birthday two years ago! I love them so much. I have always loved drawing and painting. I am very happy and honoured to win, I did not expect to win as it was a last-minute drawing!'

Congratulations Sophia. Thanks also to our three runners up and all the students who entered this year’s competition.
