The Head Master of Anuta Primary School in West Makira, Alfred Uranagi acknowledges the successful completion of the Year Six Final Science Performance Task, calling it a major milestone for students, teachers, and the surrounding communities.

The task, titled “Selling Garden Produce” required Year Six students to carry out a community-based survey to determine which local garden produce is more or less economical.

This hands-on project was specifically designed to test students on scientific knowledge they gained throughout the year as well as to encourage them to apply their learning in a real-life, culturally relevant context.

“This final task is more than an assessment. It’s a celebration of learning that reflects our way of life.

“I proudly acknowledge the efforts of our students, teachers, and parents in making this milestone possible,” said Ura.

Assessment marks will be awarded based on a clearly defined marking criteria, focusing on students’ scientific understanding, data analysis, and their ability to effectively communicate their findings. This performance task forms a vital part of the students’ academic growth and progression.

Ura extended heartfelt appreciation to the Year Six teacher, school staff, parents and the surrounding community for their unwavering support.

“Your teamwork and encouragement helped turn this task into something greater than just a school assignment. It became a meaningful experience that challenged and inspired our learners,” he said.

He further emphasized the lasting impact of the initiative.

“This is the kind of learning that lasts. It’s grounded, hands-on, and rooted in the life we live here on Anuta Island. Together, we continue to grow strong, curious, and capable learners ready for the next chapter,” he said.

The project is being celebrated as a model of how education can be deeply relevant, practical, and empowering for students in rural communities.
