A massive thank you to Property Brokers, who donated $600 in vouchers in rewards for our PB4L Solid Citizens!
Yesterday, we held our solid citizen prize draw. We were joined by Kiriwai Bishop and Gretchen Gould from Property Brokers, who kindly donated $600 in vouchers from local businesses. We thank them for their generosity and willingness to support our PB4L journey.
Once again, Thank you to The Bakehouse for the pie vouchers, and congratulations to Kelly Cassie and Thomas Crawford for receiving one.
Another huge well done to this term’s Good Sort, Gabriel Lagos. You were nominated because you deserve it, and we are pleased to see you are being recognised as a Good Sort at Mackenzie College! Keep being awesome!
This week’s PB4L assembly was Isabelle and Emma’s last one. We sincerely thank them for their significant contribution to the PB4L team.
Emma and Izzy said a few words about their time as PB4L Captains:
Izzy:
We were asked to share a few words about how we found PB4L, and as someone who is quite shy and isn’t a fan of talking in big crowds, it was quite a challenge suddenly talking in front of the whole school. In saying that, it was one of the best things I could have ever done, and I feel that I’m leaving this role more confident and a better person, and I hope I take that into the next steps of my life. I strongly recommend that those who may feel the same way about talking in front of big crowds give something like this a go; you won’t regret it. I used to think that the people who told me to “get out of my comfort zone” were just there to make my life miserable, but honestly, it truly is the best thing you can do for yourself.
Emma:
Being a part of the PB4L team has been so much fun but also insightful on how much effort goes into the background of something like this. So many different roles need to be filled within PB4L, and everyone’s role is important and valued. Even though I was a student voice at the meetings, I felt so included. It has benefited me to be a part of a team with teachers, members of the community, and peers. This role has been an excellent start for my future career after school.
