May 14, 2021/in News /by Kathryn McCann

This week Action Crew 7172 were awarded the ABC Community Sprit Above and Beyond School Community Project Award. Collective ed. alongside the Sorell School and the Sorell Community have worked alongside the students of Action Crew 7172 to create engaging multimedia content that captures and presents the voices of the students and their community around issues that matter to them. The students have demonstrated exceptional growth in skills and confidence and have put forward their ideas and concepts in a way that have created broad interest.

We are so proud of the work of Action Crew 7172 and congratulate all involved, particularly the students themselves for all of their hard work and commitment.
