Rap4Respect and Art and Poster Competition
Congratulations to the winners of The Line’s Rap4Respect and Art and Poster Competitions!
Joshua Kemp
Joshua Kemp, 11, from Parkhurst, QLD worked with his music teacher to write poetry that became his winning Rap4Respect lyrics.
"I wanted to talk about how people should respect each other by letting them talk and have their own opinions. We should be helping each other and letting people be themselves."
Sophie Flynn
Sophie Flynn's coloured drawing entitled Mates grabbed the 9 year old the Art and Poster Competition first prize.
"My drawing was inspired by my friendship with my cousin. Being good friends is all about trusting one another."
