🚀✨ HPGE IN ACTION: ARKKI STEAM PROGRAM ✨🚀

We’re excited to announce to our community that our Arkki STEAM Program is happening this week! 🚀

🧠 Stage 2: Wednesday
💡 Stage 3: Thursday
📚 All Year 3–6 classes will be involved during normal class time

This is more than just a lesson- it’s a $13 500 fully funded HPGE initiative designed to give our students real opportunities to think, create and innovate.

Through Arkki, students will:
✨ Solve real-world problems
✨ Build critical and creative thinking skills
✨ Work collaboratively and share ideas
✨ Develop confidence as future innovators

STEAM learning strongly supports the intellectual, creative and social-emotional domains of High Potential and Gifted Education -exactly what we want for our students at Prairievale.

🤝 This exciting partnership has been developed alongside Bossley Park High School, helping ensure that as our students transition to high school, they do so with stronger skills and clear pathways into STEAM learning.

👩‍🏫 Workshops will take place in classrooms, with two Arkki facilitators working alongside teachers and support staff to deliver high-quality, hands-on learning experiences.

We’re proud to continue investing in opportunities that inspire potential and open doors for every learner 💙

🌟 Congratulations to Our Amazing PPS Dancers! 🌟

We are incredibly proud of our talented dance students who represented Prairievale Public School so beautifully at Pulse Alive! Your energy, commitment and passion lit up the stage- what a fantastic performance! 💃🕺✨

This opportunity is part of our High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) program, where we prioritise ensuring every student has access to rich experiences that allow them to showcase their strengths and reach their full potential.

👏 Well done to our dancers and thank you to the staff who supported them! We are so proud! 💙
