September 12, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artwork by Nanango State School prep student Charlotte Black has been selected to appear in the 2025 Queensland Farm Safety Calendar.<\/p>\n

Charlotte\u2019s artwork was chosen from more than 1500 entries from across Queensland, and is one of 12 by students which will feature on the 2025 calendar.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Charlotte for creating her artwork which features a message about having a safe, fenced play area so children are kept safe from farm machinery,\u201d Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarm Safety is such an important topic for our region, so it is wonderful that a regional student like Charlotte can share their knowledge and understanding with other young people and their families right around Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharlotte\u2019s drawing features in the month of March and I\u2019m sure her family are extremely proud of her for this achievement.”<\/p>\n

Each of the winning students receives $250 with another $500 going to their school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other messages on the 2025 Farm Safety calendar tackle being safe around electrical equipment, always wearing a helmet on a quad bike and washing hands after touching animals.<\/p>\n

The annual Farm Safety Calendar competition has attracted more than 12,000 entries since it began in 2016.<\/p>\n

South Burnett primary schools have featured strongly in previous years, with winners coming from schools in Crawford, Cooyar, Durong, Kilkivan and Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

This year’s winners were judged by industry representatives from AgForce, the Queensland Farmers\u2019 Federation and representatives from the Office of Industrial Relations.<\/p>\n
