Last week’s PBL nominees are well deserving of recognition. – Irrawang Public School student Arianna was nominated for her significant contribution to the PBL program. Arianna created a Community PBL lesson with a focus on students being safe, respectful and responsible in the school holidays. The lesson was delivered to every student K-6. – Preston from Raymond Terrace Public School was nominated for being an amazing contributor in the Pen Pals Team who take time out of their week to connect with elderly people at a local aged care facility. On a recent visit his ‘pal’ was too unwell to catch up so Preston struck up a conversation with another resident and made their day. – Grahamstown Public student Amelia was nominated for consistently demonstrating all of her school’s PBL values. She is always supporting students and including them in the classroom and playground. – Miles from Irrawang High School was nominated for his sense of community which he displayed on a school community access outing.
