The poster should illustrate the 5 values and can include any imagery that can be found in each of the following.
- E: Equal – caring environment, feel safe and important
- A: Achieving- All achievement should be celebrated no matter the degree
- G: Greatness – all should thrive for greatness
- E: Engaging – lives of individuals and families are involved with the community
- R: Ready – All will be ready for opportunities and challenges with a mind-set of resilience and determination
Instructions: You can use the pro-forma below and add design to the background, and / or lettering but you must have different designs in each of the boxes to illustrate each word. If you can’t print the pro-forma a copy can be collected from the art department.
