Primary students invited to design message sticks
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch is encouraging primary school students to enter a competition run, by the NSW Parliament, to design their own message stick.
The Naidoc Week School Holidays Competition is open to students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
"Message sticks have been an important form of communication for thousands of years, allowing aboriginal communities to share and pass messages," said Ms Tesch.
"This year, we want our young people to pass an important message onto us about anything that they are passionate about and would like to tell Parliament."
Four winners will each receive a Parliament of NSW gift pack and the entries will be shared with their Member for Parliament.
A parent's or guardian's name, phone number and email must also be provided as consent for entry into the competition.

Entries will close Friday, July 22.
