Artwork by Moyston Primary School grade four student Jack Fitzgerald will feature on the cover of Member for Lowan Emma Kealy’s Christmas card this year.
Each year Ms Kealy writes to schools across the Lowan electorate to invite students to design a card that reflects what they love best about their local area, with a touch of Christmas.
Ms Kealy visited Moyston Primary School today to announce that she had chosen Jack’s design as the cover for her 2024 Christmas card.
Jack described his artwork as, “This is a fire truck. I chose this because of all the fires that went through Pomonal, and I’d like to thank the CFA for their help”.
Ms Kealy said Jack’s design highlighted the importance of communities coming together and helping one another in times of need, while also encapsulating the Christmas spirit.
“Our young students have incredible artistic talent and the designs they created were outstanding,
“The students took inspiration from a range of places and facets of life in our electorate, including our agriculture industry, our many lakes, rivers and other natural wonders such as Wannon Falls, Mount Arapiles, and our native flora and fauna."
- Emma Kealy, Member for Lowan and Deputy Leader of the Nationals. Jack received a large art pack and a set of cards featuring his design, while a number of other students received honourable mentions and a set of cards with their designs.
Ms Kealy received hundreds of entries from schools across the electorate, and some of these entries are proudly displayed in the window of her Horsham electorate office.“Looking through the beautiful designs our local students create is a wonderful way to end the year, and I sincerely thank the students and schools for taking the time to design a Christmas card for me this year.”
