This is what our students have been up to this week.

Ash Dragan Performance

Alpine Shire Council hosted a performance from Ash Dragan, a renowned artist, worldwide, at Mount Beauty Community Hall.  Our whole school was kindly invited to join residents from Kiew Valley House and The Alpine Leasure Group. 

 

Ash is a Larrakia artist, storyteller, adventurer and educator from Darwin in the Top End. As a cultural ambassador for the Northern Territory throughout the 2000’s he reached a global audience and achieved worldwide acclaim for his unique style of storytelling and live musical performance. He has received multiple national and international nominations for his recorded works.

Ash currently lives on the lands of the Wurundjeri in Victoria engaging with State and local Government, NGO’s and community services as a consultant, educator and workforce trainer.

 

Year 3/4 At Alpine Radio

On Wednesday our students in class 3/4, with Kathryn, were invited to speak on Alpine Radio with presenter, Faye Mason.  Our students were extremely excited to be live on air and read snippets from their stories, which have been entered into this year's Mount Beauty Writer's Festival.

It was fun to listen to them speaking on the radio, here at school, and we enjoyed how their animated voices came across the airwaves.
