The theme for the Christmas Boxes 2011 was simply 'Christmas' to allow full creativity in design.
Every S1 class and all three houses in S6 produced a box and S1 to S5 were well represented.
Once decorated, the boxes are filled with lots of tasty goodies and distributed to the elderly throughout the local community.
The 2011 awards are listed below ...
