Housebuilder lays career foundations for St Andrews pupils with Christmas design competition

Involving 25 pupils from the school’s P3/4 class, the Christmas competition saw children design their very own festive hard hat using inspiration from the local area as well as their own traditions. Pupils could use any material to decorate the hat – from glitter and paint to tinsel and baubles – with the most festive and creative scooping the top prize.

The winning design was created by Brodie Mera-Rowan who received a £50 Smyths voucher, while all participants received a chocolate selection box from the housebuilder.

Miss Radley, P3/4 Teacher at Lawhead Primary School, said: “Lawhead Primary School P3/4 pupils were delighted to be part of this competition. They all enjoyed creating their festive hard hat designs, decorating them and covering the classroom in glitter!”

Lorraine Paterson, Sales Director at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, said: “We’ve been blown away by the calibre of designs submitted into this year’s Christmas competition. It proved to be a fun way to engage the next generation to start thinking about a career construction, as well as tapping into Christmas crafting. A massive congratulations to all those who took part, and hopefully we can inspire more budding builders to try their hand next year.”

Lawhead Primary School is a local catchment school for David Wilson Homes East Scotland’s DWH @ St Andrews development. Three and four-bedroom homes start at £397,995.
