Junior Landcare – Going the Distance Competition

Junior Landcare – Going the Distance is a competition open specifically to students of School of Distance Education Queensland in Years 4-7.

To enter students are to explore the theme ‘Junior Landcare – Going the Distance’ by creating a digital research project that addresses a local environmental issue. As distance education students you know what it’s like to take the extra step in your education, be it studying from a remote station or working independently in the city. Can you go the distance for the environment? Tell us what concerns you and how you can be a Junior Landcarer in educating others about our rich and diverse landscape.

So get creative by developing a PowerPoint, video or another type of presentation that tells the story of an environmental issue that concerns you!

One winner and two finalists from each year will be selected and will receive a fantastic prize pack.
