In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, hear from the 2025 IBSC Action Research Award winner Melinda Bargwanna about her inspiring project at Trinity Grammar School (Australia). For her winning project, she guided junior school boys as they designed and built a biodiversity pond, creating a powerful sense of community and belonging in the process.
Discover how this hands-on work in their "green patch" enhanced the boys' well-being, fostered mentorship between age groups, and turned climate concerns into hopeful action. The episode also previews the theme of 2026-27 IBSC Action Research, Future Frontiers: Fostering Boys' Learning in the Forward-Thinking Classroom. Tune in for a fascinating look at the impact of connecting boys with the natural world.
New episodes of the IBSC Exploring Boys' Education podcast are available exclusively to IBSC members on the IBSC website for the first two weeks. Afterward anyone may access them from all popular podcast platforms. We encourage you to share this resource across and beyond your school community!
