2012 Programme - Competitions for Primary School Students

As part of the 2012 programme, “Turning the Pages” is pleased to announce two competitions for primary school students.

Page Turner Junior is two concurrent competitions – writing and photography – open to all primary school children who live in the Upper Hunter Shire and the Liverpool Plain Shire, on the topic; “My River”.

Winners will be announced at the Turning the Pages River Day, on 9th November.

We are hoping that each school will allocate class-time to talk about the River (not necessarily the Page’s River) and encourage students to participate in the competitions. We plan to exhibit all entries on the walls of the RSL Hall in Murrurundi on Festival Day.
