Winners! - Schools Heritage Competition 2006

The Schools Heritage Competition is an annual event open to all Reception - Year 10 students across the State. It provides opportunities for classes to link school curricula to meaningful ICT projects that showcase their local community, history and built heritage.

The 2006 theme, HERITAGE CONNECTIONS: links with our past, encouraged classes to explore the connections that heritage places have with people, events or other places. It was anticipated that students would utilise a variety of community resources, such as local reference and photographic collections, but that they would also value their own associations with a place and appreciate the memories of family and community members.

As in previous years the format of entries was restricted to those generated by computer, to encourage the application of modern technology in a celebration of heritage.

Congratulations to Mr Edwards' Year 7 class & Mrs Kameron's Year 6 team who, along with Keith Area School, shared the Most Outstanding Entry (Year 6-7 category) for their podcast and DVD. Below are pictures of the students who attended the recent awards ceremony. You can see all the winners here.
