Threatened Species Art and Writing Competition
The Threatened Species Art and Writing Competition 2022 has now closed. Thank you to all who participated.
About the competition
The Macarthur region, our backyard, is home to a wide diversity of native plants and animals. Many of these plants and animals are affected by a range of impacts such as habitat loss, competition and predation from non-native species and foreign diseases. There are a range of species occurring within the local region that are at risk of extinction and have been listed as ‘Threatened Species.’
The Threatened Species Art and Writing Competition (TSAC) is a regional environmental education program, involving Campbelltown City Council, Camden Council and Wollondilly Shire Council. The competition celebrates Biodiversity Month (September) and Threatened Species Day on 7 September.
The competition targets all stages of primary school, and is open to young people aged five -12 years. TSAC encourages students to learn about a local threatened species and represent it in an artwork or creative writing piece.
The competition is now in its fifteenth year and through its cross-curricula nature has been successfully engaging primary schools in Geography, Science, Visual Arts and English throughout the Macarthur region.
