Newsletter Term 2 Week 3 2023
"We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians on whose land our school rests. Their footsteps and whispers blow in the wind, drift on the clouds, remain deep in the sandstone and float on the waterways of this place. Their memories and Dreaming stories will continue to connect us to the land and guide future generations of our school community. Country is alive if you take the time to look, listen and learn."
Principal's message
Everyone is very excited today as we run our cross country. Thank you to the parents who have taken time out of their busy schedules to assist us on the day.
