Water posters a splash of creativity

WITH the Australian Water Association’s National Water Week celebrations approaching, Central Highlands Water is again calling on young people to get involved.

This year’s theme is ‘united by water,’ and CHW staff will soon accept entries from creative local children in their annual National Water Week poster competition.

Children from preschool age to grade 6 are invited to pull out some paper, pencils, Textas, and crayons, and design a poster that engages with the concept of water unity.

“The 2023 theme, united by water, celebrates water’s vital role in connecting us all,” a CHW spokesperson said.

“Water touches every aspect of development. It drives economic growth, supports healthy ecosystems, and is essential and fundamental for life.

“Our collaborations in water management continue to guide us in this integral space.

“The poster competition is a great activity for early learning centre rooms, kindergartens, and primary school classrooms in the lead up to National Water Week.”

CHW staff are encouraging educators and children to get drawing as term three arrives next week, with age category winners announced during National Water Week, and prizes up for grabs including gift cards and water-saving resources.

National Water Week is held in October every year, and will run from 6 to 22 October in 2023.

The Australian Water Association’s annual celebrations aim to inspire people, communities, businesses and organisations to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the importance of water, its value, and its key place in keeping societies and environments alive.
