AUSTRALIAN of the Year Awards’ Local Hero winner Amar Singh is encouraging primary school children to share stories of fair go, mateship, respect and inclusion and win prizes as part of the popular nation-wide Aussie of the Month Schools’ program.

Run by Auspire – Australia Day Council WA as part of the National Australia Day Council Network, ‘Sticking Together’ is a primary school competition encouraging students to share how they stick together in their classrooms, schools and community through words or photographs.
Also Aussie of the Month Ambassador, Turbans 4 Australia founder Amar said mateship, community and sharing are at the heart of our rich and diverse Australian culture.
“This fabulous initiative is a great opportunity for children to show how they express these Aussie values by sticking together,” he said.
Amar has also shared a special message on his TikTok Channel to encourage teachers, kids, and school communities to get on board.
By getting involved, 20 schools can win their share of $20,000 worth of Pilot Pen classroom stationery prize packs including gel pens, whiteboard markers, ballpoints, refills, erasable highlighters and Sellotape safety dispensers.
