​​2025 National Water Week poster competition now open​

South East Water is inviting our local primary, kindergarten and early learning students to create an entry for the 2025 National Water Week poster competition.

Students can design, draw, paint - or use digital or other media - to create a poster that reflects this year’s National Water Week theme, ‘Water Heroes: Save Every Drop’, which highlights the important role we can all play in using water wisely.

South East Water General Manager Strategy and Stakeholder, Karen Lau said the poster competition is a fun and interactive way for students to learn about the importance of water in our daily lives.

“The National Water Week poster competition is an inspiring and creative way to tap into the connection we all have to this precious resource. 

“Children have a unique ability to explore topics in imaginative ways and we’re excited to see how they’ll inspire us through this year’s competition theme,” said Ms Lau.

Tulliallan Primary School Assistant Principal Lynne McDonald said the Cranbourne- North based school is excited to be taking part in the National Water Week poster competition. 
 
“As a school community, we know how important it is to use water wisely. We’re committed to taking action to protect this precious resource.

“We can’t wait to see what our own water heroes create,” said Ms McDonald.
