Birak Celebration

Bush School end-of-year picnic celebration

Class 1 and Class 2 

Wednesday 14th December  10.45am - 1.00pm

Dear Parents,

Next week (Week 10), as we move into the Noongar season of Birak (early summer), it is our last session of Bush School for 2022, on Wednesday 14th December.  As the morning session clashes with the Stepping Stones K6 graduation ceremony, which I need to attend, Sam and Evie will take Classes 1 and 2 for activities during the morning.

To celebrate the coming of summer, and our journey through the six seasons over the course of the school year, I would like to invite any parents who are available on the day to bring a plate of healthy tucker to join us for a picnic lunch celebration at the creek between 10.45am and 1pm.  The children are encouraged to bring bathers, a towel and a change of clothes (or two) to splash and play in the shallow waters of the creek.  As well as a picnic lunch, we will sing some Birak songs, listen to an end-of-year Christmas bush story, and pay special acknowledgement to our Class 2 students who will be moving on to Class 3 next year.  Sophia and I will be with any Class 1 & 2 children remaining for the afternoon.

Thanks,

Bruce
