Primary school students across the Cassowary Coast and Hinchinbrook regions are being encouraged to help spread vital farm safety messages as part of Queensland’s 2027 Farm Safety Calendar competition.
The competition, launched last week by the Queensland Government, invites Prep to Year 6 students to create artwork focused on staying safe in farms and rural environments.
Twelve winning artworks will be selected for the 2027 calendar, each representing a different farm safety theme.
Safety Ambassador Riana Crehan said children living in or visiting rural areas needed to understand the risks that can exist around farms.
“Growing up on a farm, I used to see firsthand how accidents could happen if you didn’t pay attention to your surrounds. Animals can be unpredictable, and machinery is dangerous if you don’t know how to use it properly. Farms are incredible places, but they also come with real risks.
The competition closes on August 31st 2026, with winning students receiving a $250 gift card and their schools receiving $500.
More than 40,000 calendars will be distributed across Queensland. To find out more, visit www.worksafe.qld.gov.au.
