Pollinator Week-
Art Competition
Our Guardians of St Leonard’s are buzzing with excitement to announce our participation in the Australian Pollinator Week Schools Art Competition!
This art competition isn’t just about creating something beautiful, it’s about learning how pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds and bats help our world grow.
Pollinators play a vital role in helping plants produce fruit and seeds, which means they’re responsible for around one-third of the food we eat! Sadly, pollinator numbers are declining due to habitat loss, pollution and climate change, which puts our ecosystems and food supply at risk.
As part of our school’s ongoing sustainability efforts, the Guardians of St Leonard’s recently installed a small beehive in the trees near the fairy garden to attract native bees and encourage pollination on our school grounds. This project connects perfectly with the theme of the art competition.
By creating an artwork that celebrates pollinators, students will learn how these tiny creatures help sustain life on Earth and why protecting them matters.
🎨 Students can create their artwork in any form -drawing, painting, collage, digital, or mixed media-As long as it celebrates pollinators and their importance to our world. (Please see some example ideas for inspiration below).
🗓️ Competition dates: 1st September – 26 October 2025 (All entries will need to be placed on or before this date)
🎨 Theme: Celebrating pollinators and the vital role they play in nature
