    Exciting Progress in Social Housing! 🏠 These are some of the last houses to be renovated under the Community Housing Grants Program, part of the State Governments $4.5 billion investment in social housing and homelessness measures. This initiative is adding more than 2,700 social homes, with over 1,000 currently under contract or construction across Western Australia! We’re on track to complete the entire Mungullah Community Village by the end of March 2025 marking the end of an incredible transformation. This project has been more than creating safe and secure homes - it’s about strengthening communities and creating jobs! 💼 A huge thank you to the Department of Communities for their continued support and funding, which made this vision a reality. Check out the images attached for some of the houses completed in the last few months! 🤝

    This term we are highlighting the Wajarri language originating from the Murchison and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia! 🌏 This week in our bush classrooms, our students have learnt all about the mulya (nose)! 👃 Pronounced mu-lya, our noses are a vital part of the body, filtering the air we breathe in. It also houses small organs which give us our sense of smell and ability to taste! Sniff sniff! ABC Foundation provides FREE Education Programs via our website to promote cultural awareness and preserving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. These modules are fully customisable to include your region’s traditional language, promoting cultural awareness and connection for students of all ages. 📚 Interested in bringing these learning opportunities to your school or community?
