Our Inclusive Classes have spent this year growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs.

Recently, they were able to harvest mint, rosemary, and parsley. Last week, they held a stall at the Mother's Day event, selling bunches of these herbs for a gold coin donation. Thank you to everyone who supported us by purchasing one. All money raised will go towards resources and equipment to help maintain our garden.

Such an inspiring day at Halogen’s National Young Leaders Day!

Dalmarri Art Project 2025

Our Stage 3 students attended the Dalmarri Art Project at Doonside Technology High School. Our students created a beautiful artwork with lots of meaning:

The dots, of various sizes and shades of our school colours, represent the students, staff, parents and P&C who make up our school community.

The larger centre circle represents our school and how everyone, no matter their differences, comes together to create 'wagul marri mudjin' - one big family.

Students shared the meaning of their artwork with other schools, choosing to use Dharug language to express their thoughts about Walters Road. The amazing artwork above is on display in our front foyer.

World Environment Day 2025 and Return and Earn

To acknowledge World Environment Day and encourage sustainable practices at Walter’s Road, students began collecting Return and Earn bottles.

All proceeds will be donated to Aussie Ark, an endangered animal sanctuary recently affected by the NSW floods.

As of the Term 3, our students and staff have recycled 3,756 bottles, cans, and poppers. Together, we are working to reduce plastic waste while supporting Australian wildlife.

Nurringingy Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (JAECG)

Four Stage 3 students attended the Nurringingy JAECG at Kellyville High School. Our students were wonderful representatives.

They played modified versions of traditional Aboriginal games, learnt about culture, and enjoyed pikelets with jams made from native fruits, all while connecting with Aboriginal students from other schools.

It was a wonderful day and the day marked the beginning of our involvement, and expanding our collaboration with the JAECG to include more Walters Road students.

Our Therapuppy Mowgli
We had the pleasure of being first introduced to Mowgli at the beginning of this year. Mowgli is our dedicated Therapuppy. A specially trained therapy dog who visits our school once a week.

His presence is a wonderful addition to our community, as he plays an important role in helping to promote wellbeing and provide comfort to our students.

His visits create a calm, positive environment that supports children's emotional and social development.
