Peace Crane Project
Article by Josh Reeves , Synergy Leader - Global and Local Connections and Student Leadership
The Peace Crane Project is an initiative that aims to spread world peace and awareness about the International Day of Peace. Those that participate in this project are asked to sign up for this activity, fold origami cranes and exchange them with someone in a different city, state, country or continent.
This year, the Senior School Kindness Collective and students who opted to engage in this activity as part of Me, You and Us/RUOK Week, participated in the Peace Crane Project. Overnewton partnered with Adamstown Public School in NSW and both schools, folded origami, wrote letters and sent these items to their exchange school. Pictured are the wonderful letters and origami sent to us from Adamstown. What a wonderful and positive initiative this has been for Overnewton students to be involved in and a fantastic partnership to establish.

Students in Year 9 and 10 Outdoor Education classes will compete with schools across Brimbank to see who can recycle the most household batteries. Start putting your old batteries aside and deposit them to the Senior School or Year 9 receptions.
