Wonthaggi Primary School
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (10:26): Wonthaggi Primary stepped up and went all out in this year’s parliamentary prize, joining 200 schools across Victoria and over a thousand entries. Twenty-three students made 90-second videos covering topics from cost of living, mental health, footy fees and mobile coverage to climate. They received the Alicia Katz Award for outstanding school contribution, named in honour of the first female candidate to stand for Victorian Parliament. It is a recognition of courage, tenacity and impact – a bus trip to Parliament, a photo with the Speaker, smiles abounded, a trophy and a cheque for $1000. Congratulations, team, and teachers too. Keep raising those voices high and bringing about positive change.
