The cards are printed on high quality 100% recycled paper in WA. The pack includes 10 cards of one design and 10 envelopes.
St Stephen’s School students will be drawing their personalised Christmas card during the last week of Term 2. Students may bring their card home to complete over the holidays.

Online ordering will be available from 15 August to 2 September and cards will be delivered to the school by 4 November. The back of the cards will have the Uniting Logo, Year 2022 and your child’s name, class year and school. The cost of the pack of 10 cards is $16.
