Kindness matters at Barwon Heads Primary

BARWON Heads Primary School Grade 6 pupils recently completed their posters in this year’s Lions Peace Poster Competition, which had the theme “Kindness Matters”.

A panel of judges from the school decided on the winners from the competition run by the Lions Club of Ocean Grove Barwon Heads, who were Bella Campbell (6A), Sophie Blacket (6B) and Daniel Griffin (6C).

The original excellent winning posters of these three students have been sent off to the next level of judging.

Eventually, district, state, national and world winners will be determined.

Lions Club coordinator Fred van Wegen will now attend Barwon Heads Primary School’s fortnightly assembly to present the winners from each of the three grades with certificates acknowledging their achievements.

The Lions International Peace Poster Contest is one of many Lions Clubs International Youth

The contest presents a unique, enjoyable and enriched educational experience for youth and an enrichment of school curriculum areas of learning, creating, communicating, technology and achievement and contributes to further development of artistic and writing skill, self-expression and personal growth; sharing ideas and messages ofpeace and acknowledging youth positive efforts and achievements.
