WE HAVE A WINNER

 

 Participation in the competition in Melbourne was disappointing in that there were few entries and even fewer at a high enough standard to be considered for the prize. Unfortunately, there was no female entry at a high enough level to award a prize. The male winner of the comptetition was Mohamad Hersi of Footscray City college and currently in year 10.Congratulations Mohamed!
