“During our PBL journey in 2024, we have revamped our processes ensuring all students are reaching high expectations in our PBL values of respect, personal best and safety in all settings,” said Megan and Katrina, the PBL coordinators for Grahamstown Public School.

“We have celebrated student success throughout uniform days, movie sessions, crazy hair and sock days and fundraising events.

“Last week, our stage 3 students successfully organised and ran a colour run which raised money for the school.

“We are always on the lookout for students who are doing their best and love to get together and celebrate our wonderful kids with reward activities.”
