National Tree Day

The school partnered with the Tooraweenah CWA to celebrate National Tree Day last Friday. Parents and community members also came along and joined us for the planting of two trees donated by Jill Blackman. A lovely morning tea was enjoyed by all who attended. Thank you to the CWA and parents for providing morning tea. We look forward to being involved in this important event again during 2020.
