01.01.2022 ABC'S Heywire Competition is on again! What is Heywire? Heywire puts young Australians at the centre of the conversations that shape their communities. The ABC has run the annual regional youth project in partnership with the Australian Government since 1998.... The annual Heywire cycle begins with a storytelling competition - open to people aged 16-22, living in regional or rural Australia. Heywire encourages young people to tell stories about their life outside the major cities in text, photo, video or audio format. Over the past 17 years more than 9,000 young Australians have taken part. There's still a month left to enter the ABC's Heywire Competition, where we're calling for true stories from students in years 10, 11 and 12, living in regional, rural and remote Australia. The Heywire Competition empowers young people from all over Australia to tell the nation what life is like their part of the world. The ABC would really love to hear your students' stories! The Heywire Competition closes on September 16, 2020 and students can enter their stories here https://www.abc.net.au/heywire/competition/ It would be great to have some entries from our school. See Mrs McDermott in Straddy subschool if you would like some help getting your entry in. Best of luck! For more information go to the website https://www.abc.net.au/heywire/
