Developing a Sense of Belonging in Students

In a recent article, Professor Geoff Masters (2023) identified two challenges for the reform of school education.

1000 Hearts Project Impacting Children in Need

Recently, Ms Joanna Walden, a Textiles teacher at Swan, took the handsewn hearts made by her Year 9 students to Ronald McDonald House during the school holidays and ran an art workshop for the children staying there. Ms Walden was inspired to create the 1000 Hearts project after initiating the Uthando Doll project with her classes and volunteering at Ronald McDonald House and seeing the difference that students' work could make to the childrens lives. The Uthando Doll project involved students and teachers making dolls that were given to orphaned children because of the AID pandemic in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
