Two pupils from Caithness were presented with £200 worth of stationery for their schools and a DVD player for themselves after featuring in the prize list of an art competition to design the cover of The Highland Council's 2004 Lyreco catalogue for office supplies.

Stephanie Webster (7), Wick North Primary, won the Primary 1-4 category and Liam Larnach (11), Pulteneytown Primary, Wick, the category for special needs pupils.

They were presented with their prizes at a meeting of The Highland Council's Education Culture and Sport Committee last week at Inverness.
