The story
Three years. Four chapters.
From a first FunShop that left staff laughing to a culture that runs without Dale in the room. This is how it unfolded.
2022
The first yes
Principal Lynn booked a FunShop after seeing Dale speak. Forty-eight staff. A wet Tuesday. By 11am the room was unrecognisable.
2023
The curriculum lands
Whole-school PEGG rollout across Terms 1–4. Daily rituals led by teachers, then by students. Staff absenteeism dropped. Parent feedback spiked.
2024
Students take the keys
Year 6 students run PEGG for the junior school. A whole-school Giving Day built by kids, attended by 200 families. Covered in local media.
Today
The culture holds
Three staff changes. Two new prep cohorts. The practices kept going. Lynn calls it “the first program that outlasted the program.”
