The Christmas Decorating Competition has been judged and we have a winner!<\/h4>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s competition was \u2018tropical\u2019 and the judges saw many wonderfully bright displays featuring palm trees, flamingos, pineapples and Santas wearing coconut bras and grass skirts! Entries were judged on theme, creativity, overall appearance and sustainability.

This year\u2019s winner is 5A with their tropical, under the sea theme.<\/b>

Their winning prizes include a sweet treat hamper, kindly donated by the STARS Staff Council and the very coveted trophy, designed and made by Rehabilitation Engineering. Best of all, 5A get to pick next year\u2019s theme and get a jump on the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>
