What a fantastic, heartwarming time we had on Sunday, November 30th, celebrating the incredible artistic talent of our local young people at the annual Penguin Painting Prize-giving! The atmosphere was buzzing with festive cheer and proud families.

A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to all the local schools that participated this year. The creativity, imagination, and sheer number of beautiful entries we received made judging an incredibly delightful but difficult task!

It’s clear that Helensburgh has some truly talented students. You should all be so proud!

🏆 Congratulations to Our Brilliant Winners!

After much deliberation, we narrowed the hundreds of entries down to just 50 – no mean feat!

The public voted in their droves on Facebook, and we were thrilled to award our top three young artists for their stunning penguin masterpieces.

A massive congratulations to:
• 🥇 1st Place Winner: Nova from P3 at St. Joseph’s Primary
• 🥈 2nd Place Winner: Millie from P2/3 at Cardross Primary
• 🥉 3rd Place Winner: Sienna from P5 at St. Joseph’s Primary

Sienna was unwell and couldn’t attend the presentation, but we ensured her prize was delivered to the school this week, and you can see from her smile how delighted she was.

Your penguin masterpieces were absolutely fantastic! 🎉
