Broadmeadows schools values awards
Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (09:43): Also, I want to thank the local schools who participated in my values awards at the end of last year. I loved being part of 27 end-of-year celebrations. I like to recognise values that the world needs more of so I sponsor seven awards at each school, including awards for courage, respect, perseverance and advocacy, as well as a big ideas award and a community award for those who make the world a better place through their everyday kindness or generosity. This year, given the challenges the world is facing, I have added an additional category, the peacemakers award, for those who promote peace, cohesion and understanding. Congratulations to all the award winners.
