The year 3 students of Hilltop Road Public School have been working to answer the question 'How can we, as Australians, support our disaster affected communities?'. They researched the causes, effects and responses to various natural disasters that have occurred in Australia's history. Hilltop Road students connected with the students of Broulee Public School, in an area of New South Wales that was devastated by the 2019-2020 fire season. Our students heard first hand accounts from students who were forced to evacuate, separated from their families and even lost their homes. The students of Hilltop Road were inspired to do all they can to show and share their support for the Broulee students, and solved their PBL problem through fundraising, acts of kindness, promoting tourism and raising awareness.
