Chewton Primary School is situated on Djaara Country.

We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the custodians and caretakers of the land. We thank them for the care they have taken and continue to take of Country: the rivers, mountains, trees and animals. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Back in the Art Room

A big thanks to all the parents who helped paint the art room: Kate, Scott, Heather, Shu, Bethia, Kaori. Special thanks to Kate for being patient and working in all the classrooms over the past 12 months with such panache. The Art space looks lovely and fresh and has so much space!
