Story hub helps build creativity at Meadows Primary School

Meadows Primary School pupils will soon have a dedicated space where they can sit and draw, write and tell stories.

The Broadmeadows school has partnered with 100 Story Building to create a story hub which will be dedicated to creative learning.

The story hub will be part of the school’s community hub and has been designed by 100 Story Building, teachers and pupils.

Meadows Primary School principal Anthony Potesta said the 100 Story Building story hubs project aimed to empower pupils to find their creative voice and promote confidence, literacy and a sense of belonging.

“I am thrilled to be part of the story hubs initiative that will see increased levels of engagement in literacy for our students, teachers and parents,” he said.

“The story hubs initiative will support and enrich the literacy needs of the community and help to improve the learning outcomes for all our students, especially those students with English as their second or third – or sometimes fourth – language.

“The story hub will help to promote the love of literature, creativity and collaborating within our community and I am genuinely excited by what the future will hold for our students.”

Pupils were asked to draw designs for the new hub, which were unveiled earlier this month as part of the school’s annual Meadows Design Expo.
