If you saw Year 12 PROPEL students creeping along walls this week, waving yellow flags or whispering about olives, you’d have stumbled into Ms Page’s Road to Refuge escape simulation.
Students played refugees fleeing the fictional country of Varanya, and staff across the school jumped into character. There was a smooth-talking smuggler, a very strict Permit Bureau, a caring House of Comfort, a Border Authority that stamped “faces, not paper”, and an alarmingly convincing Border Commander.
A special thank you to our groundsmen who helped ensure safety at the ‘sea crossing’ when the escape raft students built did not quite do the job. And to our Year 3 Border Patrol: more than one Year 12 was outsmarted by an eight-year-old shouting “STOP!”
It was a fun morning with a serious message about the courage, choices and kindness that shape a real refugee’s journey. Ms Page would like to thank everyone who played along and help create this memorable moment.
