Linuwel School Fair 2016 was an extraordinary day brimming with huge crowds, meaningful ceremony, celebration, pride and engagement with workshops, performances and activities.

We were very grateful to have Uncle Bill Smith perform a Welcome to Country to begin the day. He spoke poignantly and with high praise about our school: the children; teachers; environment and community in general. We thank you Uncle Bill…

From the entertaining ensemble work to the student displays, from the gamelan to the story pole opening and smoking ceremony, from the glorious singing to the vibrant drumming, from the delicious food and drinks to the handcrafted goods… there was something for everyone to enjoy!
