Our Environmental Leaders proudly represented the school at the unveiling of Weeyal, a stunning sculpture carved from the stump of a tree that had become unsafe. Artist Shane Christensen used a chainsaw to create the piece, capturing the detail and spirit of the Glossy Black Cockatoo, known as Weeyal in the Gubbi Gubbi language.
Several of our classes gathered to watch the unveiling and listened attentively as Mrs Maguire gave an Acknowledgement of Country, followed by speeches from the artist and long-time volunteer Glossy Bob, who was honoured through the sculpture.
Our students showed genuine curiosity and respect, asking thoughtful questions and engaging deeply with the meaning of the event. Now proudly standing on our grounds, Weeyal has already become a symbol of community, creativity and connection to Country.
