Health promotions competitions
Murrumbidgee LHD will regularly hold competitions for students in our District to promote healthy living.
Vape Education Poster
Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) ran a poster competition to provide high school aged students with an opportunity to develop and promote e-cigarette (vape) prevention messages. All high school students living and attending a high school in the District were invited to submit a poster addressing the health effects of vaping use or ways for young people to get support in quitting.
This competition ran in Term 1, 2024 (closing on 12 April) and offered an opportunity for young people to make positive changes in their own lives and the voice to make an impact on their peers and school communities across MLHD.
Students needed to design an eye-catching and informative poster that highlights either:
- The health impacts of vaping and/or
- Ways to get support to become and stay vape free.
