Agricultural Soils Day

On Tuesday 10th April, Year 11 Agriculture students which included;  BJ Cameron, Sarah Rosten, Gemma Sisson, Gemma Williams along with  Mr Miller travelled down to Armidale High School and New England Girls school for an Agricultural  Soils Day. 

We had special guests explain how we can conserve our soils and how to improve and look after them for years to come. We were also shown weed's  that are very invasive that are taking over our land.

This was an great experience that has  opened our minds up to what we can do to improve the environment for our future.

We would like to thank Mr Miller for organising for us to attend such a beneficial day.

Myall Creek

On the 11th of April students from years 7-9 Aboriginal attended a workshop called Myall Creek and beyond at the Guyra Community Hall.

Myall Creek and beyond is a multi-arts project exploring the history and impact of the Myall Creek Massacre which will result in an exhibition at the New England Regional Art Museum in Armidale from June - October 2018.

The students had the opportunity to learn the significance of the Myall Creek Massacre 180 years later and help create new work to be included in an exhibition at the New England Regional Art Museum as part of this year’s commemorations.

The workshop was held with Kamilaroi/Gomeroi singer/ songwriters Radical Son (David Leha) and Quralia Knox who will lead a touring musical workshop that explores the history of Myall Creek, the importance of truth-telling in reconciliation, and the role of the arts in healing- including creative responses to trauma.
