CHRISTMAS IN THE MURRAY MALLEE

CHRISTMAS IN THE MURRAY MALLEE

Member for Barker Tony Pasin’s annual Barker Christmas Card competition has been another
success with close to 1,000 entries received from primary schools right across the electorate.

Students from years one to five were invited to submit artwork that represented Christmas in their
region.

“We’ve had a fantastic response, with outstanding entries coming in from across the electorate. I
thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all, although it was not an easy task to select the winning
entries.” Mr Pasin said.

Four entries were selected by Mr Pasin to feature on his 2025 Christmas Cards, one from each
region of the Barker electorate: Barossa, Limestone Coast, Riverland and Murray Mallee.

An artwork by Chelsea Schilling, a student from the Unity College Junior School was chosen by Mr
Pasin to appear on the Christmas card to represent the Murray Mallee.

Chelsea was presented with a prize - a boxed set of Derwent colouring pencils - at pizza party
hosted by Mr Pasin, for Chelsea and her class mates.

“I congratulate all those students who took the time and effort to create artwork that
demonstrated what Christmas means to them, in their region,” said Mr Pasin.

Each participating student will receive a certificate and small gift from Mr Pasin
