The location was carefully chosen for its natural beauty and cultural significance, offering a view into the mountains and surrounded by Casuarina trees (commonly known as she-oaks), which hold a special place in Indigenous culture. We hope this space encourages all students to come together, share their stories, and listen to the experiences of others in a spirit of respect and community.

This project has been a true community effort, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff and students who helped bring the vision to life.

We also sincerely thank the local businesses who generously supported the project:
• Roddy Engineering – for rolling and welding the metal edging free of charge
• Tumut Bricks and Tiles – for sourcing and supplying the sandstone blocks
• Agstock – for supplying metal for the edging
• Elliot’s Landscape Supplies – for supplying crushed granite, bark chip, and crushed blue metal
• Riverina Highlands Nursery – for supplying native plants
• Tumut Freight – for placing the sandstone blocks on site

This collaborative effort has created a special space that will be valued by our school community for many years to come.
