Creative skills flow for World Water Day

Gold Coast prep, primary and secondary students are tapping into their creative skills in the lead up to World Water Day (March 22).

Council’s Water Management Committee Chair, Councillor Daphne McDonald said the city’s students had been asked to paint, draw and collage ‘the value of a sustainable water future’.

“This inaugural art competition coincides with World Water Day and will raise awareness of our precious water resources and how we should use them wisely,” she said.

“Gold Coast Water is asking students to put their creative skills to the test by entering the World Water Day School Art Competition.

“The exciting competition forms part of the 'Make your water mark!' Watersaver Education Program, which aims to engage students and the school community on water sustainability issues and conservation practices.

“Water conservation continues to be a priority in our daily lives and I encourage students to make their water mark and encourage others to do the same.”
