Australian National Flag protocols

Parent invitation – each week during morning gathering we raise the Australian Flag and sing our National Anthem. A team of year 6 students are responsible for raising the flag.

I am extending an invitation to our Defence parents to help familiarise and inspire these students in the correct protocols. If you would be interested in hosting a half hour (approx.) session with our year 6 students please let me know by email.

Tharwa Valley Forge

The Cuppacumbalong Foundation has scholarships available later in 2020 that allow two people (an adult and a child) to attend a Family Sculpture course conducted by Tharwa Valley Forge. This program is open to the immediate families of current and former serving members of the Australian Defence Force living or working in the ACT.

Andie (year 6) was fortunate to receive one of these scholarships and created a magnificent keepsake for her efforts. Well done Andie.
