Movie Premiere

The Calrossy…. Our Light and Life documentary project is coming to fruition after more than a year of interviewing, researching and delving into the archives. We have uncovered previously unseen archival images that have been restored to their former glory. We have interviewed past principals and heard from Alumni and one thing that stands out through this process is the story of resilience. Calrossy has faced numerous challenges from World Wars to global epidemic’s and from the interviews one thing stands out, our staff have always been committed to quality education and supporting the needs of their students.

We invite you to purchase a ticket and join us at the Capitol Theatre Tamworth on Friday 15th September.

 

 

Drawing us Together

Last Thursday, four Junior School students attended the Winners Ceremony for a project called “Drawing Us Together” run by Tamworth Square. Each of the students had submitted an illustration for a book written by Bianca F Stawiarski, called Gami Winda and Dyindi-Dyindi. The winning pictures were chosen when shoppers voted for them during NAIDOC week. The four students were Anaya Zubair, Asta Taylor, Joseph Pollard and Lauren Cuddihy.

 

The book has now been printed and copies given to the winners and the school. Uncle Nev Sampson gave a welcome to country and presented the framed drawings and certificates to the students before they enjoyed cupcakes with the winners from the other schools.

 

There was a lot of excitement from our four artists who were very proud to have their drawings printed in a book that celebrates Aboriginal culture.
