Stories and highlights
There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.
Red Dust Barefoot Festival 2026 - The Red Dust Barefoot Festival held in Term 2 was a showcase of all the creative skills and imaginations of our young students. They danced, sang, recited poetry and, of course, paraded and told stories with giant lanterns. Our Aboriginal dancers kicking up the dust in the centre of the stage brought spectacle and culture to our night.
From little river prawns and Yellow Belly to giant Murray Cod, Footballs and a ten metre Rainbow Serpent, our children lit up the night with excitement.
Our whole school community showed up to share this wonderful night with the children. Our parents, grandparents, cousins and friends came, making the most of face painters, glow stick sellers and the wonderful catering of Rachel in the school canteen.
A huge 'thank you' for the efforts put in by everyone who helped make it come together, and to our amazing audience for attending.
Something tells me we will be doing this again....next year!
Naidoc Week 2026 - The Clontarf Dance Group showed us the dance they had been perfecting.
The T-shirt finalists were recognised, with Mark being the winner.
The King Cup activities were held in the primary, with select students receiving Team Spirit Awards for their efforts. The King Cup primary winner was announced, going to Lachlan, with Oxley second and Mitchell in third place.
The Naidoc door display winners were announced, being Thurru, Yingka and Year 11.
The students who had worked consistently with enthusiasm at all the workshops
received recognition and a small prize.
Our KROP troupe performed their dance ‘Revolting Children’ for three sold out performances at Griffith Regional Theatre. They represented our school beautifully and should be so proud of the time, effort and enthusiasm they put into this project!
Many thanks to Miss Taylor and Miss Mack for their time and effort in leading the students, and to the parents for their continued support.
Last week our Under 16'sRugby League Team competed in the State Finals in Dubbo.
Game scores as follows,
Game 1: against Dunedoo 22 - 6 won
Game2: against Walcha 22-22 draw

This had the team finishing third in the State. The boys played well and should be very proud of themselves, displaying great football skills and sportsmanship.
