Our special Education Week celebrations started with a lovely morning tea on the deck of the Multipurpose Room overlooking the lovely Towamba River. The P&C provided its usual amazing selection of delicious cakes for all to share.
For the following assembly, Towamba Public School was very excited to have Debbie Wray Aboriginal Education Consultant and Rod Slockee Aboriginal Liaison Officer attend as our special guests. Rod played the didjeridu to the collected audience of students, staff, parents, grandparents and community members and it sounded fantastic. We look forward to more visits in our small school.
The assembly featured speeches by our Principal Kathryn Davis and our guest speakers, followed by some persuasive speeches from students in the primary classroom. Entertainment also included some musical items from older girls demonstrating their singing, and a fun musical movement piece by K12 to the music of B'tutta- a band soon to be visiting our school as part of Musica Viva.
Open classrooms after the assembly saw lots of parents and grandparents being eagerly shown student work on the walls, in work books and on the computer. Footage from the recent successful SCLC Performing Arts Festival and the inaugural Music Camp that four of our students attended was screening on the interactive whiteboard as well.
After lunch a games afternoon completed a fantastic celebration of Education Week. A selection of photos is also in the gallery.
