Ability awards planned

Woy Woy High School principal, Ms Carolyn Carter, has called for entries to the Celebration of Ability Student Awards.

The Celebration of Ability Student Awards have been established by the Ageing and Disability Department, in partnership with disability sector organisations, to encourage the creation of student work on disability and to celebrate International Day of People with a Disability on December 3 each year.

Senior secondary and tertiary students are invited to enter the Celebration of Ability Student Awards by submitting a positive piece of work about issues that impact on the lives of people with disabilities on the theme of Living in the Community.

The work may be an essay, short story, short script, press article, short film, video or radio production by either an individual student or a group of students.

The senior secondary student award offers a cash prize of $250 while the tertiary student award offers a cash prize of $500.

Entries for both awards are open until Friday, October 27, and the winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony on December 3 on International Day of People with a Disability.

For nomination forms, contact Nancy Brunetti on 9367 6822 or for further information contact Franz Weber on 9364 6966.
