Six fun competitions for SA teachers and their classes

Submitted by Fiona Beal

There are a number of competitions available for SA teachers at the moment. I will advertise them here by their closing dates:

1. (21 June closing date): Sub-Saharan Africa Schools Olympic Truce Competition

 Click here for more information on the Olympic Truce competition.

The competition is simple and flexible, to meet the needs of any classroom. It gives students the opportunity to go beyond sport and learn about the ideals behind the Games. Pupils will work together as a team, participate in exploratory learning and engage with the spirit of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Winning entries will be selected from each of the following regions - Eastern Africa, Western Africa and Southern Africa. The winning schools will receive £500 to run an international event for pupils, teachers and the school community. The winning class will receive a certificate, and you’ll also get the opportunity to show your work to a wider audience. Winning entries will be displayed in a special online gallery and in exhibitions at the British Council office in your country.

Competition formats
Entries to the competition should be in one of the following three formats:
Poster - A3 size, scanned or digitally photographed
Digital presentation - PowerPoint, slideshow, Photo Story or any other digital format
