Winners of the Farm safety calendar competition
Be safe around electrical equipment, always wear a helmet on a quad bike and wash your hands after touching animals – these are some of the safety messages that will feature in the 2025 Farm safety calendar.
Twelve children from across Queensland have been selected as winners in this year’s calendar competition including winning entries from Mount Isa School of the Air and Cairns School of Distance Education as well as other small schools in regional Queensland areas.
There were more than 1500 entries received this year and there now have been more than 12,000 entries received over the lifetime of the competition.
Each of the winning students receive $250 and $500 goes to their school. Children were encouraged to submit entries under the themes of electrical safety, animal safety, tractor and machinery safety, water safety, health and wellbeing and quad bike safety.
The winners were judged by industry representatives from AgForce and Queensland Farmers’ Federation and representatives from the Office of Industrial Relations.
The competition aligns to the Australian Curriculum General capability: Literacy and the Health and Physical Education learning area.
