ENTREPRENEURIAL PROJECTS
Integral to the Passions & Pathways Program is an entrepreneurial project. Students collaborate with a local business to resolve a problem, requiring them to draw upon their individual skills, interests, problem solving abilities and creative thinking, similar to that experienced in the ‘real world’.
“The upgrading of the Gaga Pit let me show my different skills and complete a project that is something amazing and new”
BIRD BOX PROJECT
Within the California Gully Primary School grounds, tree limbs had fallen and needed to be removed following a recent storm. In preparation for spring, students felt that bird boxes placed in the trees and surrounding bushland would regenerate the play area with birdlife again.
California Gully PS partnered with Bendigo TAFE Construction to build bird boxes.
FOOD DRIVE PROJECT
Students at Campbells Creek Primary School noted that a lot of food is wasted on a daily basis that could be used for those in need in the community.
As part of their social responsibility encouraged at school, students partnered with Bendigo Foodshare and initiated a local food drive. A total of 192kgs in food items were collected, equating to approximately 380 meals.
GAGA PIT PROJECT
Students at Maryborough Education Centre (MEC) shared the idea with school leadership to rejuvenate the existing Gaga Pits to make them more appealing for use.
Crameri’s Mitre 10 supplied the paint and materials needed for MEC students to undertake the project.
Students created & painted designs for both the inside & outside walls of the Gaga Pit.
