Coming Up at FWPS

NAIDOC Week Competition

NAIDOC Week is coming up in the school holidays (7th - 14th July). NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. To celebrate this important date at FWPS, students have the opportunity to submit an entry into a nation wide competition. This competition is open to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. It is not compulsory, however there are some great prizes that can be won! Some entries will even be displayed in local council chambers, libraries and in Parliament House!

For Prep - Year 2, it is a colouring in competition, with winners receiving gift cards and movie tickets. The sheet to be coloured will be handed out by classroom teachers.

For Years 3 - 6, it is a poetry competition, with winners receiving gift cards, smart watches and cameras. The poem must be typed on A4 paper and must include the students name, grade and class. The theme for the poem is 'My Voice, My Culture'.

All entries are due to Tess in 3TM no later than Monday of Week 10 (17 June 2024). Unfortunately, late entries can’t be accepted, as they have to be mailed to Sydney for judging.

Thank you,

Tess and the Marrung Student Representatives
