Drawing/Painting Competition
To help celebrate the importance of rainforests to our planet, we are running a drawing/painting competition!
You can draw any part of a rainforest, specific plants, endangered species or just animals and plants that live in a rain forest.
Rainforests are important for a healthy planet and human survival. Lets celebrate these important biomes.
How to enter:
- Draw or paint any part of a rainforest.
- Make sure your work is clearly labelled with your name and class.
- Please give your entry to your teacher or directly to Ms Patel by Monday 3 June. Late entries will not be accepted.

Citizen Science
There are many ways to get involved in your community. You can join a sports club, help a neighbour, volunteer at a school or get involved in CITIZEN SCIENCE. When you participate in citizen science you contribute to data bases which inform decisions made regarding future planning across Victoria and even sometimes around the world.
Birds are a great excuse to spend time outdoors at any time of the day or even at night. I’ve added some links for you to explore and get involved with:
Birds in Backyards – Top 40 Bird Songs
Birdlife Australia - Bird friendly gardening
