Yarning Circle Commemorative GardenPrint Page
The garden commemorates the centenary of Armistice and those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The garden contains a series of plaques honouring war veterans and conflicts in which they served.
Funding of $11500 was received in 2018 through the Armistice Centenary Grants Program for the creation of the garden.
In 2018, our K–6 population of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds was 27. The students continued to be actively engaged in a school initiative that focused on developing awareness of their Aboriginal culture, heritage and the connection to their culture. The major achievement this year was the creation of the Yarning Circle Commemorative Garden. Our Aboriginal students played a major part through the consultation phases of the design process of the Yarning Circle. Funds to build the Yarning Circle Commemorative Garden were provided by the school and a grant provided by the Federal Government recognising the Centenary of Armistice. The Yarning Circle Commemorative Garden was officially opened with a traditional smoking ceremony, with the help of a local Elder and our Aboriginal students.
