New - Indigenous Artwork

Indigenous Artwork

At Assembly in the last week of Term 2, we thanked Kimberly Watkins for assisting our students in creating the artwork to be displayed outside the Art Room.

In the holidays the artwork was hung up and is now on display for all to see.

Once again, much thanks goes to Kimberly for all her time and effort with our students.

New - Excursion to the Rumbalara Elders Facility

On Friday the 14th of July some of our school choir students went to the Elders Facility in Shepparton to sing songs with them and to learn about the long neck turtle.

The elders were also given cards made by the Prep – Yr 2 students to celebrate NAIDOC Week. The elders enjoyed having our students so much they have invited us back again!
