September 20, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

A talented young Kingaroy artist is the latest in a string of local students who have had their works featured on Workplace Health and Safety Queensland’s annual farm safety calendar.<\/p>\n

The colourful design by Kingaroy State School Year 1 student Eliza Crawford will feature on the September page in the 2020 calendar.<\/p>\n

The theme is quad bike safety … and the importance of always wearing a helmet when riding a quad bike.<\/p>\n

Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace said there were more than 1700 entries in this year’s competition.<\/p>\n

“The judges had a hard time narrowing it down to just 12 winners,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI congratulate the students and teachers for their commitment to this annual competition and ultimately to farm safety \u2013 they are all winners!<\/p>\n

\u201cThese youngsters are really talented with so many colourful drawings and heartfelt safety messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as starring in the 2020 calendar, the 12 winning artists will each receive a $250 voucher, while their school gets $500.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the next couple of months, 30,000 calendars will be distributed around Queensland.<\/p>\n

In recent years, students from St John’s Lutheran School as well as Kingaroy, Crawford and Cooyar State schools have had their works featured on the Farm Safety calendars.<\/p>\n
