This year has certainly been challenging for all Australians, and especially for schools, as they adapt to the changing teaching/learning situations. As students begin to physically return to schools, we invite you to take part in the 2020 Anzac Day Schools’ Awards.
First prize is $5000 for your school; state and territory winners receive $3000 each, with other prizes available as well.
The theme of the 2020 awards is The Second World War.
The Awards have changed this year to align with the 75th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War on 15 August. Entries for this year’s awards will need to focus on the Second World War and the effect on local Australian communities at the time.
In the past, our students have performed well in essay competitions e.g. the ANZAC Essay Competition in April this year and the Write4Fun competition last year.
Please encourage your child (Yrs. 3-6) to enter. Entries are to be proof-read and emailed to
linda.desalis@cg.catholic.edu.au by Wednesday 9th September 2020. More details (topic ideas and criteria) can be obtained from your child's teacher or from Mrs. de Salis.
