Bush Classroom
Kaya Families,
Bush Classroom news update!
It was a wonderful busy bee last weekend to create the foundation of our healing hut.
With the fire circle lit and some songs from Bruce, a circle of eager diggers and helpful children made light work of the task.
Before we knew it there was a beautiful flat circle for the foundation of our healing hut.
This project is such a great opportunity to spend time with other families, to feel a sense of belonging in our school community, and to connect with boodja.
Thank you so much to everyone who came down and lent their muscle and good cheer to the project!
We are now looking forward to the next stage - the building of the steel frame.
Mark your calendar!

Come share a cuppa and join in! Learn how these structures are built, hold a post up, or meet some new friends while sharing a cuppa and some cake.
It will be a good day to wander about the school as there’s also the Indigenous Literacy Foundation Book Sale on at Peppermint Cottage.
If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the go fund me link for this project.
Funding will make it more possible to cover the costs of having elders visit the hut, with the larger intention of the bush classroom to be a place of reconciliation and healing.
Please share the link widely!
If you’d prefer to donate direct to the usual school account, be sure to note ‘bush classroom’ when depositing.
Thank you so much to everyone for making this happen.
