At our recent School Council meeting, we delved into discussions surrounding the upcoming year's fundraising and special projects. It's with great enthusiasm that we share with you the ambitious plans we have in store for the betterment of our school community.

Firstly, let's reflect on the incredible achievements of the past year. Thanks to the unwavering support and dedication of our community, we successfully raised a remarkable $45,000 through various fundraising endeavours. These funds have been instrumental in advancing several ongoing projects, including the completion of the second stage of the Koor Indigenous Garden and the initiation of the Centenary Pavers Project.

As we look ahead, our focus remains steadfast on enhancing the educational and play environment for our students. With this goal in mind, we have earmarked significant events such as the Trivia Night and the Fete in November as major fundraising initiatives for the year. We aim to secure an additional $25,000 to contribute towards the redevelopment of the Junior Playground.

The Junior Playground project holds a special place in our hearts, symbolising not just a recreational area but a space for growth, exploration, and imagination. To bring this vision to life, we are actively seeking a landscape architect who will collaborate with us in designing a nature-inspired playground that aligns with our community's values and Indigenous past.

Additionally, we are delighted to share that Dugald Jellie will be returning for a special project to complete a unique boardwalk and playscape designed by our very own students. 

We are thrilled to announce the commencement of the Centenary Pavers Project. The arrival of specially crafted pavers marks the beginning of a transformation at the front of our school, culminating in the creation of welcoming and aesthetically pleasing pathways at the front of the school overlooking and mosaics - CARE, CREATE, CONNECT created by our Year 3/4 students that reflect our school's rich history and bright future.
