It's cool to be Kind

Each week at assembly we will be awarding one student the 'Its cool to be kind' award. We are on the look out for students who are looking out for others, including others, encouraging others and helping those around them. We want to see students being 'Upstanders' not by standers when they see an issue. This award comes with a $25 RBN voucher courtesy of Community House. A shout out to Oakley Tarrant for this town-wide initiative and sourcing the funding. Congratulations Jackson on being the first recipient of this award.
