Discover who won a new drinking fountain for their school via the H2O HEROES 2024, VIRU-REAL Edition. Choosing was hard, so many deserving entries. Congratulations to all winning schools and students!
BIN CHICKEN CHUCKLES
This entry made us laugh until our bellies hurt. Extra points for the bin-chicken performance. Paid actor??Either way, you win a Hydrobank!
“Our current water cooler is more of a “water warmer” with Mildura’s 40c+ days even the bin chicken walks away. It’s a sad struggle for the poor old battler providing hot or barely drinkable water. With this fresh Hydrobank we can survive our heat.
Please, for the sake of hydration!“
TEARJERKER
Elizabeth, Harper, Kaitlyn, Riley, Wyatt, Layla, Hadley, Casey, Amelia, Karise, Karter, Kurtis, Adonis, Abbys all made their plea for fresh water. Everyone in the marketing team cried reading your entries. Congratulations. You win a Pulse drinking fountain!
ANAKIE STATE SCHOOL
“We would really appreciate a new bubbbler. We really need a new on because some of the students at our school do not have access to clean running water at home. In summer it can reach up to 45 degrees and when we go to get a drink we miss 10 minutes of class to walk to the other side of school to get a drink of water.”
Our fountain does not work. When we go to the oval and play we get hot and have to walk a long way to get a drink. Please give us a fountain because it is very hot playing in 40 degrees is very hot at Anakie and it is unbearable. We would really appreciate a new fountain because ours is broken and snapped. Kurtis, Year 3
We deserve this water fountain because we live in the desert, and it gets REALLY HOT!!! When we go to the oval and we are hot and thirsty we have to go to the other side of the school to get a drink. When our water bottles are empty and we are doing something important it takes longer to get water and we miss out on important things we need to know. At the moment we only have one small single person fountain that produces water for the whole School.

OSCAR WORTHY PERFORMANCES
We loved seeing so many kids getting involved and putting on their best act to make their point. You’re all winners!! You win a Hydrobank!
“This water fountain is a dream,
Imagine having water that is cool and clean.
Our old bubblers are a sight for sore eyes;
A new fountain would bring joy and surprise.
It will make a healthy change in our school
And we will forever cheer “Civiq is cool!”
APPRECIATION POST
This sweet entry warmed our hearts. We would not drink from those old bubblers either! You win a Pulse drinking water fountain.
“Due to the school being a very small independent community based, a lot of the facilities for the school are funded by the parents and friends committee. It would be really nice to win something good for the kids. Usually, we have to go to great lengths to raise enough money. The current bubblers are rarely used as they look unsanitary and the water they provide is hot so very unpleasant to drink. We would be most appreciative to win.“
I CANT BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING HERE
Such a beautiful space with a virtu-real Hydrobank that almost looks real! So good to provide you with accessible fountains and bottle refills! Congratulations on your win.
“An Aquafil Hydrobank fountain will be exciting for our young, special needs students and encourage all to hydrate regularly, promoting good healthy habits for our students. The fountains are easily accessed, enabling inclusivity and independence, supporting our unique kids in a convenient and safe way.”
CULTURE CLUB CONNECTIONS
Love the choice of ‘Connections’ by Aboriginal Artist Luke Penrith to signify the local history and connection to the world’s oldest living culture. You win a Hydrobank!
“Guildford primary school sits on Mandoon Wadjuk land and is the oldest operating primary school in WA (established in 1833). A priority has been to better reflect the significance of the aboriginal culture and history of the land that our school sits on. Earlier this year the school changed the faction names within the school to reflect this cultural history. This drink fountain with the artwork meaning of ‘connections’ reflects the dedication the school has towards this change.”
DRAMATIC WIN
A small school located in the Far North of the Flinders Ranges is about to undergo a dramatic change… YOU WIN A HYDROBANK!
“Leigh Creek Area School deserves this prize due to its dedication to student well-being, cultural reconciliation and sustainability. A new fountain would:
- Promote hydration and healthy, hygienic, habits
- Enhance accessibility for students with disabilities
- Foster environmental awareness through water conservation
A refreshing upgrade!”
ARTFUL FRESHNESS
OUT with the OLD, IN the with the NEW. You WIN a Hydrobank for your CREW.
“Having a Civiq Hydrobank in 2024 would be appreciated by our entire School community!
Having access to fresh water means everyone is properly hydrated and ready for learning and fun.
Old, tired drinking taps replaced with enticing Civiq Hydrobanks encourages our community to choose water, supporting a healthy, active lifestyle.“
