The NAIDOC theme seeks to get the community to explore and learn about, and appreciate the wealth and breadth of Indigenous Nations, languages and knowledges of this... continent through exploring and learning about Indigenous understandings of the environment, plants, animals, greater astronomy and cosmology, waters, land use and protection, Indigenous sciences and maths.

10.01.2022 A bit happening today as we get closer to our return next week.

09.01.2022 Victoria is establishing a permit system for all domestic travel into Victoria. New South Wales/Victorian border communities will continue to have exceptions an...d will be able to use local residence identification to cross the border. From 5:59pm on 11 January, you will need to apply for a permit to enter Victoria from anywhere in Australia. The permit application system will be available shortly. The permit system is based on a traffic light system which allows for areas across Australia to be designated as green, orange or red according to their risk. A red zone (Greater Sydney) means that you will not be allowed to enter Victoria without an exception, permitted worker permit or exemption. Those travelling from a designated orange zone (Rest of NSW) must apply for a permit to enter Victoria. You cannot apply for a permit if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, nor if you have visited a red zone. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/victorian-travel-permit-

07.01.2022 Well this was a little bit exciting to see this morning! Works on our new COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) are to begin next week. This project will include putting a roof over the basketball court, new synthetic grass surface, the start of a new external school fencing project and upgraded water tanks to collect and use water from the COLA roof. ... The COLA has also been engineered to have solar panels installed as part of another project next year. We are so thankful for the support from Catholic Education, Diocese of Wagga Wagga with this project. Also, the students have started giving feedback today on some new additions that add to and update our playground spaces around the front and back yards. Covid put a halt on these plans happening at the start of the year, but we are hoping to get them started as soon as possible ready for next year. Exciting times ahead!!
