Gingerbread House Competition: Lexis Manly Students Get Festive!
The festive season is here, and what better way to embrace the holiday spirit than with a Gingerbread House Competition! Yesterday, our Lexis Manly students came together to showcase their creative talents and teamwork in a sugar-coated showdown.
The event kicked off with the sweet aroma of gingerbread and lollies filling the room. Teams were armed with walls, roofs, frosting, and a delightful assortment of lollies, from gumdrops to sour straps. Their mission: to craft the most impressive gingerbread house in just 30 minutes.
Building Sweet Memories:
The competition was held in our student lounge balcony, where tables were transformed into mini construction zones. Each team was provided with a gingerbread house kit, an assortment of colourful candies, and plenty of frosting for glue (and maybe a little snacking!)
The challenge? To build and decorate the most imaginative and creative gingerbread house within a 30 minute time frame. Students quickly rolled up their sleeves, brainstorming designs, and dividing tasks. 
From Vision to Reality:
As the timer started, the room filled with laughter, holiday music, and the occasional frosting mishap. Some teams went for classic designs, creating picturesque cottages with snowy rooftops, while others opted for bold themes with amazing gardens and colour coordinated houses.
Beyond the sugar rush and friendly rivalry, the Gingerbread House Competition was a beautiful way to celebrate the diverse cultures at Lexis Manly. Students shared their own holiday traditions, laughed through challenges, and bonded over a universal love for the Christmas season!
And the Winner Is…
Judging was no easy task, but after much deliberation, the prize went to the team behind the “Christmas Cabin Delight.” Their attention to detail, from frosting icicles to a marshmallow pathway and fun garden, truly captured the holiday spirit. Each team member walked away with a gift – and the sweet taste of victory!
Our runner up team is…
As it was so hard to choose the winning team, we also had a runner up position. This went to Camille, Bianca, Valentina, Maria, Vincent & Karolina, that beautifully created their Gingerbread House with an intricate patterned roof as well as a sweet little pathway. They won some snacks including chocolates and lollies – Well done guys!
