Students were from all over the region Ranging from Truro, Meningie and Cambrai, 30 Student came in Years 4-5. They had the chance to explore the region's unique landscapes while engaging in hands-on learning about environmental sustainability and cultural connection.
A highlight of the day was working with a state-of-the-art laser sand box, allowing participants to manipulate topography and learn how to create wetlands and mitigate fire risks.
Adding an artistic touch, Ngarrindjeri artist Kyla guided students in creating vibrant communal murals for the local nursing home. The artwork beautifully tells the story of the river, connecting generations through creativity and shared heritage.
