25.01.2022 Our students commemorated Remembrance Day today by making poppies and walking down to the Garah Memorial Hall to lay them amongst the photos of our local veterans who served in many wars in our history. They observed a minute silence at 11am to honour and show respect for all of those who have fought to make Australia the amazing country it is today. Lest we forget!

02.01.2022 The Year 2 to Year 6 students have written brilliant imaginative stories based around the topic ‘The gate’. They have spent the last two weeks planning, draft writing and typing and illustrating their stories into books. They have discovered that the writing process from first ideas to published story is a time consuming, but rewarding experience. We are very proud of the time and effort they have put into their wonderful books.
