The 2026 National Water Week poster competition is now open!

This year’s theme is: Water Heroes – Make Every Drop Count

GWMWater is inviting students to get creative and help spread the message about water conservation with the chance to win great prizes for your students and cash for your school. Students can draw, paint or design a poster that shows why water is important and how we can all be Water Heroes.

It’s a great opportunity to link classroom learning about water with creativity and fun!

SWEP is a free Victorian Government initiative that monitors school water use and alerts schools when there is a leak. A digital data logger tracks the school’s water use 24/7. Leak alerts are sent when unusually high use is detected, and schools can check their data anytime through the SWEP portal.

They also have curriculum-aligned primary and secondary worksheets and activity guides.

Learn more about SWEP here.
