Our members of Narooma & District Education Support Committee (NDESC) and Associate Members of Elm Grove Trust – Angela Young, David Oliphant and Tony Agnew have been supporting the Narooma High School Breakfast Club as volunteers over the last two terms.
Angela and Tony provided feedback recently to the principal Tracy Scobie and staff members on their experience and pleasure in their involvement at the Breakfast Club.
Angela’s message is so worth sharing with you all.
“To me the breakfast club is a beautiful oasis. The students come in focussed and self-nurturing. They are exercising their own choices while learning responsibility. Here they connect up with each other respectfully, with delightful playfulness and raw honesty. The staff are tuned in, loving and kind. I enjoy getting to know them.”
For those who have offered financial support towards this program, I would like to offer my sincere thanks on behalf of EGS Trust and our NDES committee.

1-2pm Lunch (Bring a plate)
2-4pm Meeting

Djawa Yunupingu, chairman of the Yothu Yindi Foundation, described at the Gama Festival, how he hoped 12 months ago that by the time of this year’s festival, his ancestor Garrtjambal the kangaroo would ‘stand in the constitution’ as it does on the coat of arms.
Yunupingu declared only the referendum question was defeated – his people were not. ‘After the fire, when the rain comes it renews the land and new growth emerges.’
Following the Voice Referendum in 2023, a few of us have gone on to become involved in this new committee established by the Elm Grove Sanctuary Trust, focussing attention on supporting and enhancing Public Education through Narooma High School and its feeder Primary schools.
