Snapshots at Dundula State School

Back on the road in our trusty van, Linda and I were special guests at Dundula State School this morning. Dundula State School is probably one of the largest schools that participated in the project this year, with about 84 students currently at the school.

Dundula is located to the south of Mackay and an incredibly fast growing region, due to the boom in mining.

We attended the morning assembly, along with other special guests including people from Mackay Council, Education Department, and parents.


We were also given a brief tour of the school including the new mural painted by the education officer at Bunnings (thought you would like it, Deb!)

And then we all proceeded upstairs to the exhibition. The students had enlarged and printed some of their photographs. Also on display were other art projects the students have been working on. I was particularly impressed with the student who stood for hours in a creek, waiting for a train so that they could take their photograph!


And here am I handing over the certificate and gifts to the school captains:
