Sustainabilty Fighting Extinction Program
Gidja Walker an Indigenous plant expert worked with our year 3 and 4 students to create moulded bowls from local plant material. Gidja is a leading advisor for Boneo Park and Tootgarook Wetlands and generously shared her wisdom about plants, animals and the wetlands. The Shire is very supportive of our Fighting Extinction program in our middle school and arranged for the incursion.
