Budgeting & Finance 

Budgeting & Finance PBL

💰 Years 6-9 students in the Budgeting and Finance PBL class completed a project requiring them to plan and execute a Christmas recipe on a strict budget. Working in groups, they researched recipes and ingredient costs, created a budget, made shopping lists, and independently purchased the groceries at Coles. This hands-on experience in practical grocery shopping taught them valuable real-world finance and budgeting skills.

Christmas baking by the Budgeting and Finance class was a success today. Two weeks of careful planning ensured all ingredients were purchased within budget, turning the project into a valuable, hands-on lesson in finance and cooking. The teachers loved the delicious treats!

Year 6-10 PBL 

Our Year 6-10 students have truly shone this fortnight, bringing their Project-Based Learning (PBL) to life through the exciting world of Drama! Using a series of fun and challenging improvisation exercises, students collaborated to create their own short scenes. It was incredible to see their creativity flourish as they incorporated costumes and props to bring their characters and narratives to the stage.

Before their final performances, the students even mastered the art of a professional drama warmup, a fantastic skill for any performer! I was so proud as they took turns sharing their scenes with each other. Stepping out of your comfort zone in front of peers takes enormous courage and confidence, and the level of skill and commitment they displayed was outstanding. The students have built not only dramatic ability but also invaluable communication and collaboration skills. Well done to all the performers!
