Our Year 2 students enjoyed a special visit from Gold Coast Suns , who shared their beautifully illustrated book, Yalgan SUN. The story follows mascots Sunny Ray and Skye as they journey across Yugambeh Country, helping students deepen their understanding of the Yugambeh language and its significance to the Gold Coast.

The visit also featured engaging didgeridoo performances and traditional dance, creating a vibrant and memorable cultural experience for our students. Next term, each student will receive their own paperback copy of the book to continue their learning.

A sincere thank you to the Gold Coast SUNS for sharing this meaningful story and inspiring our Year 2 students through culture, language and connection. 🌿🧡
