On Thursday, 30th July the New South Wales Australian of the Year Tour of Honour for 2015 visited Stockinbingal Public School. We were privileged to have three different New South Wales Australians of the Year come to our school to share their experiences and answer questions from the students.
Each of the visitors shared something of their personal story before our students asked questions based on the short videos we had seen about each of these special people. All of the student's questions were answered in detail giving an insight into the jobs and lives of each of our Australians of the Year.Jules asked if she could take Noah home with her as she thought he was just perfect, and all of the visitors commented on how lucky our students are to attend a small, caring and supportive school.
The message from all, was one of kindness and a passion for what you do allowing you to make a difference.
Our visitors were then treated to some Stockinbingal hospitality, with Terese providing a light lunch and the children entertaining visitors in the playground.
