We delivered an Interschool River Fun Day at Orama Public School for year six students from Orama Public School, Chrysalis Steiner School, Repton Public school Raleigh Public School and a group of year 9 students from Bellingen High School. Through informative, hand’s on activities, immersion in beautiful landscapes, wisdom-filled stories and unique games, participants gained a deep connection with the river and built relationships with students from other schools in the valley.
