HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITY 

After the successful funds raised for the upgrade of our George St playground, this year all funds will go towards refurbishing our Harmony Garden  and creating a peaceful space where students can connect with nature, reflect and learn.  It will be a lasting legacy for our school and a vital part of our inclusive learning environment.
