Four winners from Year 3 to Year 6 were announced and received a prize pack from Burley Sekem and earned their school a range of prizes:
Lucia Old from Carnley Anglican Community School (Year 3)
Cyrus Cargill from Gooseberry Hill Primary School Student (Year 4)
Rhania Khan from Perth College (Year 5) and
Emelia Bullers from East Fremantle Primary School (Year 6)

The competition was used as a preparation tool for the NAPLAN tests held in the first school term.
WAFC Schools Specialist David Lindsay said he was impressed with the quality of the entries.
“It was fantastic to see the interest in the competition this year and the judges were very impressed with the students’ creativity.” Lindsay said.
