The students and staff have worked hard and are proud of what we have achieved with the support of the community.
The retreat has been developed with the help of an environmental grant, awarded to the school in 2016 by the Environment Trust.
The grant was to build an outdoor learning area and create a bush tucker garden for the school support classes.
A shelter has been built with seating for students to have lessons, with a paved walkway through the area.
The students made the pavers and decorated them.
Numerous tyres have been brightly painted and used as planter pots.
The school has also built a vegetable garden to be used in tutorial classes, which operate a school café.
