Ness Castle School pupils have taken part in a Christmas competition by designing their very own festive hard hat.

They were given a glimpse of a career in construction as Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes’ led the Scotland-wide competition.

Involving 23 pupils in the school’s P2 class, children designed 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 Kalina Zawadzka who received a £50 Smyths voucher, while all participants received a chocolate selection box from the housebuilder.

Felipe Ferreira, sales director at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, said: “The designs submitted by local primary schools in our community into this year’s Christmas competition have been fantastic.

“It proved to be a fun way to engage the next generation to start thinking about a career in 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.”
