A Bangholme school challenged their students to make a difference through a week of hands-on activities.
Students at Cornish College rolled up their sleeves from Monday 20 to Friday 24 June for the Make a Difference (MAD) Week, which was this year themed ‘Visible Values – Urban Projects’.
Primary classes used their art and design skills to create a new soundscape garden and gathering space, reusing noisy materials to create a garden that stimulated the senses.
Year 9 science students built a frog bog and developed an aquaponics system – a sustainable and healthy method of growing vegetables and raising fish.
Students from Years 3 and 4 designed and built a new playground, including a seesaw and fort.
Other projects included a display to make the school values visible along the main deck; swapping preloved books, games, clothes and accessories to raise money for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation; and a fun run for charity.
