Reconciliation Week 💜🧡🖤

We caught up with old friends, and made new friends at the small schools oz tag day today. It was lots of fun!

We travelled all the way to Nymboida PS today for our termly Boutique Schools' writing workshop and catch up. Clare from the Long Way Home writing competition was our special guest and inspired us with many ideas for our story writing for the competition - 'Fly by night'. We learnt to make scones and bliss balls & played with our friends from Tucabia, Nymboida and Cowper in the lovely playground.

Primex! What a great day. The kids tell me the highlights were the train, the cows, the quadbike and tasting the jerky! The ice creams were good too!

Our students and staff were invited to the Malabugilmah park opening today - aptly named the 'Mrs Willo Park' - after Mrs Carol Wilson the former Baryulgil PS AEO for many years. We blew up balloons, played, watched Uncle Mungie cook and clean a buhniny (echidna) over the fire and enjoyed all the community yarns. Thankyou Jana Ngalee LALC for inviting us. So good to work alongside this whole community.

We love you too little Magoos! ❤️
