Creative Catchment Kids
Last Friday we held the official launch for the Darlington Point Public
School and Gralee Special School’s Creative Catchment Kids book. We
were honoured to have some special guests including our Local Hero, Mr
Bruce Gowrie-Smith and our Education Director, Mr Brad Russell, attend
the presentation. Stancee and Owen, who organised the project,
presented the final version of the books and also provided the school
and participating students with several copies. The book, titled “BRUCE:
Hero in Our MIA, is based around Mr Gowrie-Smith’s involvment in the
control and erradication of pests in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
Congratulations to the Opportunity Class for their hard work preparing
the book and also to the teachers involved, Mrs Wood and Mrs Wythes.
