Birak Celebration

Bush School (Class 1/2) Picnic Lunch & Final Afternoon Session

Wednesday 15th December  12.45-2.45pm

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 2021 on Wednesday 15th December. As the morning session clashes with the Stepping Stones K6 graduation ceremony, which I need to attend, Heather has volunteered to take Cl 1 and Cl 2  for activities during the morning.  As such, we will defer our final Bush School session for the year until the afternoon.

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 12.45 and 2.45pm.  The children are encouraged to bring bathers, a towel and a change of clothes (or two) to splash and play in the shallow waters.  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.  Parents are welcome to stay on until home time at 2.50pm.

Thanks, Bruce
