Tidy Town Awards

Ms Fiona, Jahlile and Florrenza attended the Tidy Towns Awards in Perth on Friday 27 November. The event was just one of many experiences over the three day excursion.

At the Awards

Meeting the Governor of WA and receiving a Governors coin

I am so proud of our students. They spoke so well in front of a large crowd and every one was so impressed with their behaviour and composure.

A message from Tidy Towns

HI Fiona

Thank you for attending the Awards – it was very special to have Jahlile and Florrenza join us, they did a fantastic job of speaking.

For me the day was caught in the photo of the coin.
The Governor giving coins to them without any fanfare sums up actions of those we celebrated at the event, community members being recognised for their quite actions. How wonderful.
I know this will have a transformative effect on their lives, they will always remember that day.

Government House of Western Australia

A special shout-out to Jahlile and Florrenza from Pia Wadjarri RCS in Murchison! The Governor met Jahile and Florrenza at the Keep Australia Beautiful WA Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards last week.The students were representing their school as a finalist in the Environmental Education award category.

The Governor Kim Beasley was impressed with how proudly and confidently Jahlile and Florrenza spoke about their school’s projects – including a bush-tucker garden and a native animal rehabilitation program – and gave them each a special keepsake coin. Congratulations to Pia Wadjarri for their inspiring efforts to Keep Australia Beautiful!
