Hello my name is Brylie and I (along with four other students) am attending Gnurad Gundidj, a School for student Leadership. One of the major components we complete while we’re here is a CLP (Community Learning Project). Our school group Birchip P-12 School is in the process of organising rest stations, such as seats, around our pre existing running/walking track at our local lake, Tchum Lake. We are also planning on building a sheltered stage out at the lake so there can be more community functions and to create more opportunities for our local budding musicians, with your help this would be made possible. This funding would be greatly appreciated and would make it easier for us to be able to pay for all the materials we shall need and to pay the tradesmen. We also plan to have a series of working bees with members of the community to complete the project. Looking forward to hearing from you, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email, or by calling the school on (03) 5592 5384.
