National Water Week 2023
In partnership with Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority (GHCMA) and Southern Rural Water (SRW), we delivered another fantastic National Water Week poster competition with all our kindergartens and primary schools across the region invited to participate.
This year’s theme “United by water” encouraged the students to think about how we’re all connected through water and prompted conversation about how we have to work together to save water for the future.
The competition attracted more entries across the state than any year before and Wannon Water staff then voted for their favourite posters which they felt best reflected this year's theme.
