Our poster competition for students in Years 1-4 is back in 2023.
Students can showcase their artistic flair and knowledge of the 6 key safety messages - or a safety message of their own creation.






Winners are chosen from each of the two primary school categories – Years 1-2 and Years 3-4. The students with the two winning entries receive an Chainex Bounce in Space (Years 1-2) or Clementoni Mio Robot (Years 3-4). There are four runners up prizes, including a 4M Steam Deluxe Space Exploration (Years 1-2) or George The Gyroscope 6 in 1 Gyroscope Kit (Years 3-4).
Winning schools will also win one of two $1000 donations to their school P&C association.
