TWELVE Northern Rivers schools have been named finalists in the NSW Premier’s Awards for their efforts in supporting students’ wellbeing and community recovery after the 2022 floods.

The schools were commended for taking a flexible, innovative and collaborative approach to build strong community relationships and ensure every child had access to a quality education during a time of great need.

This initiative brought together schools from Broadwater to the Tweed, focusing on helping students rebuild through education and engagement.
