Hey kids!

Exciting news, especially for those who love to write and have really grasped our current ‘Australia’s Story’ History unit!!!! Please read the RULES before you begin writing, but remember, you can use all of your learning this term to help you write a SHORT (120 word) journal entry!!!!!

ABC Education is holding a history/writing competition. Competition Link

Convict Children Competition

Write a journal entry describing life as a child convict.

When Australia was a British penal colony, some of the convicts sent over were children, punished with transportation for crimes like theft.

In your short journal entry (120 words max), make up a name, age, crime and sentence based on your knowledge of real convicts.

Check out our new Convict Children digibook to help you with your entry – it’s packed full of information about this period in Australian history.

When you’re done, scan or take a photo or screenshot of your entry and upload it below.

Opens: 7 June 2019, 9am (AEST)

Closes: 26 July 2019, 5pm (AEST)

THE RULES

1. Upload your entry

Tell your parents what you’re creating and uploading here. DO NOT use real names anywhere on your entry! You don’t need to register or log in, just fill the entry form and upload your image. Make-up a Display name for your entry.

Students can work individually or in a group. If you’re a teacher, parent or guardian, you can upload entries for your students/children.

2. Be nice

Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. Don’t pick on other people, and don’t include anything that might be hurtful or threatening, or encourages people to be unsafe.

3. Get permission

Make sure the stuff you upload is all your own work. If you do want to include something made by somebody else, make sure you have their permission. Don’t break any copyright laws. The sorts of things you commonly need to get permission for include: music, videos, images, audio, text, logos and trademarks.

Don’t post any personal details. Make sure you have the signed permission of any people appearing in your entry, and if you’re working with anyone 16 years old or under, you need their parents’ consent too. Here’s a Participant Release form you can use.

Be aware of brand logos (for example, on someone’s t-shirt or a can of drink). If you feature a brand too much, we may need to reject your entry.

4. Sharing your content

Only upload your content to this site if you don’t mind sharing it with everyone and you are happy for the ABC to use it on ABC websites, in ABC apps and maybe for broadcast on ABC TV.

5. All entries are moderated

We look at every entry before publishing it on the site, so it may take a few days before your entry appears in the gallery. If we’re unable to publish your entry, we’ll send you an email explaining why.
