Rockingham and Kwinana schools are being urged to get ROCKinvIoNlvGedHinAthMe Hands Across

Australia School Competition. The national competition aims to raise awareness and get young Australians to join the initiative to end indigenous disparity in one generation.

Schools can perform and film their own version of the GenerationOne theme song Hands Across Australia or create their own song or rap on indigenous disparity.

Winners of each category will receive $15,000 for their school.

This year's competition is encouraging schools to partner with others to create their entry and reflect GenerationOne' s core goal of working together.

To promote the competition in classrooms, every school in Australia will receive a pack, which includes classroom resources for teachers, a DVD with materials to learn the Hands Across

Australia song, and a bonus dance clip to Blackfella/Whitefella choreographed and performed by Dale Pope of the Australian School of Performing Arts and up-and-coining talent Thomas Kelly from NAISDA Dance College.
