Outback Festivals Sponsors 2012
May 14th, 2012
Wakakirri Outback Festival is very pleased to announce our 2012 Festival Sponsors. We are still proud to be associated with DEEWR, NITV and Aurora.
This year we also are excited to again be working with IHHP (Indigneous Hip Hop Projects) in all of our locations. Outback has worked with IHHP for a few years now and the students always look forward to their week long programs and presentations.
Outback Festivals has a NEW sponsor for 2012 – WesTrac. WesTrac has a strong commitment to communities and is the second largest provider of apprenticeships in Australia following the Federal Government. We are eager for them to bring their message to our communities, and to introduce the WesTrac Institute to our secondary school students.
Please read all about our Sponsors on our Wakakirri Sponsors page.

The Wakakirri Prize for Positive Impact is the ultimate award for a school to receive.
The prize is to acknowledge the efforts of the school to have created the most positive impact on the world around us. Schools are judged on how they have used their entry to spread awareness within their local and global communities.
