Congratulations to the JS Wiradjuri Language Program
What would we do without Corey! A big shout out to him for all his great work in the Junior School with helping us learn and celebrate Wiradjuri Culture. We love learning Wiradjuri language in years K-3 with Corey. Corey’s hard work in this program was recently recognised with the winning of the Aunty Judy O’Neill Community Program/Project Award at the Orange NAIDOC Community Awards. We congratulate Corey on this success and thank him for inspiring us. Mandaang Guwu Corey.

Home Among the Gumtrees: Star Sign Readings with KWS Roo
Having recently joined K–2 with their intensive swimming program (yes I want to beat my cousin Penny the Platypus at our annual Christmas Swimming Race…), I thought it is only fitting to base our final star sign readings for the year off those known as Olympic Champions.
