S7/Ep.01 - Boys, Green Spaces, and Wellbeing
In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, we speak with Melinda Bargwanna, winner of the 2025 IBSC Action Research Award, about her inspiring project at Trinity Grammar School in Sydney. Melinda 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 next IBSC Action Research theme, Future Frontiers. 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!
