Cameron Close residents are both our neighbours and valuable contributors to our school community. Each week, students in Year 1 visit Cameron Close to read with residents. Many volunteer in our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. Others contribute to our Year 6 Graduation celebrations.

 

Alkira Centre - Dignity and Purpose

“Alkira” is an Aboriginal word for “bright and sunny”. For many it has come to mean “a happy place in the sun”. We support Alkira and look forward to their members visiting us regularly to help out in our classrooms.
