National Water Week
National Water Week makes a splash across Australia each year by inspiring communities and organisations to work together towards a sustainable water future.
Entries for the 2025 poster competition are now open.
Each October, National Water Week inspires individuals, communities, and organisations to work together on water issues and finding future fixes.
In Victoria, this year's theme is “Water Heroes: Save Every Drop”.
To help celebrate, children from kinder to Year 6 are encouraged to design, draw, paint or use digital media to create an A4 or A3 poster that demonstrates how saving water makes you a hero.
For teachers and educators , this is a great activity for the classroom in the lead up to National Water Week. For parents, this is a fun and engaging activity to do with your child.
There are great prizes on offer for children and their school or kindergarten.
