OzKids Magazine

Edition 2 - 2023

Welcome to Edition 2 of the OzKids magazine.

The Author & Illustrator Workshops headed to Port Headland. Roy Hill Community Foundation sponsored the workshops at the schools.

Without sponsorship, the Art & Literary visits wouldn’t be done.

Author/Illustrator visits through CreativeNet. Helping to encourage children to be creative in their favourite media, is what we strive to do.

The year is flying, so make sure you get your entries in early.

Carol Dick

Managing Editor

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.

Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.

Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.

Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts. 

May Rob’s memory be a blessing.

Jason Woods
Children’s Charity Network Board and Community
