Due to the extended lockdown the decision has been made to decline our invitation to participate in this competition. This decision has not been made lightly and we have based it on the following factors:

• Fairness and equity for all students (students at home and students of essential workers at school)
• To reduce the current pressures on families during remote learning
• Artworks are due on 25 October and Stage Three students are not expected to return until 1 November.

We share in your disappointment and appreciate your understanding in this matter however we look forward to the 2022 Competition.

Go Gently,

Mrs Natalie Shelley

Religious Education Coordinator
