Aussie of the Month - December

This year we introduced Aussie of the Month at Pimpala Primary School which recognises personal endeavour, achievement and contribution to the community and reflects some of the values we share as Australians, such as fair go, mateship, respect and inclusion.

Aussie of the Month is a primary school recognition program, that's been running for more than 20 years and is delivered by the same network that presents the Australian of the Year Awards.

The Australian of the Year Awards profile leading citizens who:

• are role models
• inspire us through their achievements and community participation
• challenge us to make our own contribution to the community

Aussie of the Month reflects similar values, and encourages:

• an appreciation of the diversity and depth of personal contribution
• achievement possible within your school
• concern and consideration for all members of the school community

Each month, the school staff will nominate students for Aussie of the Month and then one student will be selected by the Personnel Advisory Committee (PAC) to receive this special award and celebrate their commitment to the Australian values we embrace at our school.

The recipient of this award for the month of December is Tate from 4/5. He received our Aussie of the Month award for:

Always demonstrating the school values. He is a polite and friendly student who always works to the best of his ability, and is a leader that others look up to.
