13.01.2022 REMINDER 2020 Competition Answer Sheets due at the Competition Office by Friday 14 August. Thank you to the hundreds of teachers who have already returned their students' answer sheets, despite all the challenges you've been facing at this time.... For those of you that have not yet, a reminder that in order for your students to be eligible for prizes their answer sheets need to arrive at the Competition office by Friday 14 August. Given the delays that Australia Post is experiencing during the pandemic, you may wish to post them express to ensure they arrive on time. For schools that are not able to meet this deadline, we will still process your students' answers and send you their results and certificates, but they will not be eligible for prizes.

05.01.2022 Friday 14 August 2020 extended submission date for 2020 Australian Geography Competition answer sheets Due to the disruptions in schools as a result of COVID-19, the Australian Geography Competition Committee have decided to extend the date for return of answer sheets to Friday 14 August 2020 to be eligible for prizes. We are aware that student numbers at schools have fallen and some state/territories and non-public schools are now on Term holidays. Some schools have advised ...that they will be sitting the Competition early in Term Two. If some of your students have already sat the Competition or can do so before the end of Term One, please return those answer sheets to the Competition office for processing as soon as possible. Question booklets in all schools are to be kept under teachers' control until further notice. This is to keep the questions confidential to allow those schools that have already closed an opportunity to sit the competition at a later date. Since the situation is evolving rapidly the Competition Committee will be reviewing matters regularly and will email further advice as required. Updates will also be posted to the competition Facebook page. Kind regards, Bernard Fitzpatrick AGC Coordinator
