William Ruthven Secondary College
The idea
William Ruthven Secondary College is addressing a significant attendance challenge by improving the morning experience for students. By installing outdoor heating, the school is removing a key barrier that contributes to lateness during winter.
TIP impact
With support from Bank First's Teaching Initiatives Program, the school will create a more welcoming environment for students arriving each morning. This practical infrastructure solution is expected to significantly reduce lost learning time. Success will be measured through reductions in lateness data and improved wellbeing for students who arrive early or on time.
