National Day

Call it National Day, Federation Day or Australian Fun Day, our Primary students, parents and teachers joined together to celebrate, with a special emphasis on fun and games enjoyed by families a century ago, about the time of Federation here in Australia.

It was a wonderful day with children and adults alike learning to play marbles, hopscotch, knucklebones and sevens, or creating peg dollies, rag dolls, pom-poms and french knitting. Bush dancing and the making (and eating!) of our famous lamingtons added to the day's enjoyment.

Here are some images from the day....
