This year, during our Bushranger Busy Bee session, our whole school was involved in planting, reviving, and caring for our plants and local produce!
In preparation for the day, our students and staff collected food scraps that were safe for our worm farms too feed so that our soils were nutrient dense and ready for our plants. The students, with the guidance of our staff, dug up the garden beds to make way for new soil, then planted produce such as tomato, broccoli, snow pea and more. Not too long before the new harvest comes along!
We held our School Ball on the 24th of April, where our students came down and had a wonderful time.
They polished up in their dresses and suits, had delicious food, and even got to the dancefloor for a dance with their friends.
Congratulations to Savanah, who showed her moves and grooves and won the dance award, as well as Kyle and Isabella, who won best dressed during the night.
This Kooyar Carnival, our school was filled with competitive spirit as they had their game face on. Amidst the balls that were thrown, buckets that were filled, and ropes that were tugged, everyone did amazingly in all the activities while exhibiting sportsmanship.
Congratulations to everyone for the effort they have put in!

Each year Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June, it is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
On Friday, June 2 we held a Reconciliation Curriculum Day. Rooms 4, 5 and 8, along with staff, attended the Walk for Reconciliation at Kaarta Koomba (Kings Park), whilst the rest of the school participated in cultural activities such as damper making. It was a wonderful time for all students to learn more about Aboriginal culture, history and achievements and discuss ways in which we could contribute to achieving reconciliation.
