Barunga team helps construct a Bower Shelter

By December 23, 2022No Comments

The Barunga team once again did great work, this time working with Jawoyn Learning on Country and Barunga Community School.

Figuring out where the shelter will be

This project aims to work together and Construct a Bower Shelter within the school grounds. The shelter will provide a space to allow students to sit and collect their thoughts without being in the main view of others, and allow time to make decisions or talk things out with a valued friend.
