2019 Annual Schools Fire Safety Competition
The competition is now closed and winning entries selected.
The 2019 Schools Fire Safety Competition is now closed and schools around the State have submitted entries in two categories: Multimedia or Poster.
Since 2002 the SA Metropolitan Fire Service has promoted the annual “Learn! Don’t Burn!” Fire Safety Competition to all South Australian schools. Over the years we’ve had fantastic responses from all over the state.
The Schools Fire Safety Competition was included in the curriculum in Term 3 or early in Term 4 with children entering a simple poster, or they could be as adventurous as they liked using the multi-media competition.
- Poster Competition: (PDF 372KB) Teachers used any of the fire safety messages as the subject for the children’s poster entries. Original artwork only – no electronic entries. Note that for Reception and Year One students, we provided a choice of colouring-in sheets as an alternative to hand-drawn artwork. Refer to the Teaching Notes (PDF 380KB) and Poster Competition instructions.
- Multimedia Competition (PDF 372KB): Students could use any form of creative media to convey the fire safety messages – dance, song, video, TV ad, powerpoint presentation, banner, mural – teachers tapped into their students’ creativity and we received short video files and board games! Refer to the Teaching Notes (PDF 380KB) and Multimedia Competition instructions.
Judging
Judging of the Poster competition was carried out by public vote at the MFS Annual Adelaide Fire Station Open Day, Saturday 9 November 2019.
Judging of the Multimedia competition was carried out by the MFS.
The Judges' decisions are final.
Prizes
Every student who participates will receive a fire safety bookmark to colour in. In addition merit certificates were awarded across all year levels to outstanding Poster entries.
Both competitions had great prizes!
- In the Poster competition, Premier Art Supplies are our sponsors for the fourth year in a row. There was one $40 Premier Art Supplies voucher awarded to a student from each year level – Reception to Year 6.
- In the Multimedia competition there were up to eight $100 Dymocks vouchers to be won as class prizes. Dymocks Rundle Mall have been a proud supporter of the Schools Fire Safety Competition for 16 years and we thank them for their ongoing support.
Winners will be notified and prizes will be distributed week commencing 2 December 2019.
Winning Poster competition entries will be displayed in the DECD Gallery, 31 Flinders Street, Adelaide between Monday 16 December 2019 and Friday 24 January 2020.
