Competition Overview

Building a scarecrow offers a creative and engaging learning opportunity for Queensland primary school students.

Students are encouraged to create Scarecrows that align with the chosen theme for the year.

The 2024 School Scarecrow competition theme is Banjo Paterson and his iconic Jolly Swagman.

This year's Ekka School Scarecrow Competition invites students to celebrate the rich sporting history of the Brisbane Showgrounds, which has hosted numerous sporting events since the 1880's. From cricket matches and rugby league games to car racing, the Ekka grounds have been a hub for athletic excellence. In line with this history, the theme focuses on sports people, encouraging participants to create scarecrows inspired by athletes or sporting moments from past events held at the Showgrounds. Students can let their creativity shine while honouring the legacy of sports in Queensland.

This activity touches on various curriculum areas such as Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS), The Arts, English, Science, and Mathematics, allowing students to explore cultural, environmental, and artistic themes while developing practical skills. This activity fosters creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving while also connecting students to Queensland’s agricultural heritage.
