The Year 6 classes recently joined with the Origin Energy Foundation to participate in the Solar Buddies project for 2023. Volunteers from Origin Energy came to our classrooms to inform us about energy poverty and the impact it has on remote and impoverished communities around the world. Each student constructed a solar light and wrote the recipient a letter to accompany it. These lights will then be sent to children in villages in Papua New Guinea. The solar lights will give the children a chance to study and do their homework after sunset. This project connected to our LYF and Science lessons.
