Young innovators wanted
Primary school kids can enter a national primary schools’ competition to demonstrate how they can work together to create an innovative way of re-using plastic bottles.
The Circular Champions challenge is part of the popular nationwide Aussie of the Month Award – a student recognition program that rewards the characteristics of personal endeavour, teamwork and contribution to community, and is the younger sibling to the prestigious Australian of the Year Awards.
“Circular Champions is a great way for school children to demonstrate the important values of mateship, inclusion, respect, fair go and community, by showing how they can work together to get creative with plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill,” said Aussie of the Month Ambassador, Amar Singh.
By getting involved, 20 lucky schools can win their share of $20,000 worth of Pilot Pen classroom stationery prize packs.
Circular Champions opens this week and closes on September 20 2024.
To enter, schools can register for Aussie of the Month at www.aussieofthemonth.org.au and prepare their class entry.
