East Gippsland Water is partnering with Southern Rural Water for this year’s National Water Week primary school poster competition – with gift vouchers and fun science-based prizes up for grabs!
This year, National Water Week runs from 17 – 23 October. The poster competition is open to all primary schoolers, as well as home-schoolers in the East Gippsland region.
The theme is “Our water stories” – providing a fantastic opportunity for kids to creatively demonstrate their knowledge of local water issues.
This annual competition is a great way for students to learn and develop a deep understanding of the importance of water and using it efficiently, in an enjoyable way. There are science experiment kits up for grabs for poster competition winners and runners-up, with their schools receiving vouchers to assist with an environmental project.
In addition, this year all schools entering the competition will be entered into a free prize draw to win a $300 voucher provided by Southern Rural Water.
Every primary school in the East Gippsland region has received an email inviting them to take part. Entries close at 4 pm Friday 2nd September. Winners of the competition will receive their prizes during National Water Week.
