Wakakirri School Coordinators: Register your Wakakirri Student Representative HERE
Once you have registered for Wakakirri 2010, please register a student from your Wakakirri item for our Student Rep Program.
The Student Rep Program aims to empower students and give them a sense of ownership over their Wakakirri item. It also gives them a chance to exercise their writing and photography skills not to mention their technical and web skills!!
2010 Signature Item is 'DUCK'
For all schools who enter the festival this year, you have the opportunity to incorporate 'DUCK' into your Wakakirri work in any way you wish. It can be central to your story if you wish, or it can be peripheral. 'DUCK' can be interpreted in any way you like for example a quacking duck...ducking under something...
