Earlier this year, Stage Three, in collaboration with the Dubbo School of Distance Education - NSW DEC and the Department of Planning and Environment participated in the 'Dark Sky' project.
Not long after, the opportunity came up for us to work with UTS: University of Technology Sydney to feature in a mini documentary on Project Based Learning; an approach we have been using successfully for many years across all years at St Matt's.
For such a small school we do some amazing things! Here is a short clip that features just our school. We hope after watching it you are as proud of our students and their learning as we are.

🌊 🌳 Hawkesbury River Walk 🌳 🌊 Last week Kindergarten was blessed with perfect weather for a walk to view the Hawkesbury River and its surrounds. The walk consolidated our learning in geography around identifying and locating places that people connect with and how we can care for these special places. We were also able to explore how the river was used by the Darug people long ago and we identified ways that the Aboriginal people of the area currently connect with country and culture. The walk was enjoyed by all and our exemplary engagement and behaviour during the excursion earned them a parachute. #RiverWalk #Hawkesbury #HawkesburyRiver
