A year at our school

the students with the organisers of the beyond blue car rally

Ellerston Public School Parents & Citizens (P&C) proudly hosted a special lunch for the participants of the Beyond Blue Car Rally 2025. This wonderful event brought together community members and rally participants in support of mental health awareness and wellbeing.

Our students had a fantastic time washing the cars, and the day was filled with joy and connection. We are grateful to Beyond Blue for choosing to stop at Ellerston and to everyone who helped make this event possible.

A huge thank you also goes to Ellerston Onassis Polo, Scone Woolworths, and Scone Coles for their generous donations and support. Your contributions were invaluable in helping us provide a memorable lunch for everyone involved.

Together, we celebrated community spirit, raised awareness, and created lasting memories. Thank you for being a part of this special day!

At Ellerston Public School, we are excited to be embarking on a sustainability journey under the guidance of Mr. Judd. Together, we are exploring ways to care for our environment, reduce waste, and promote eco-friendly practices throughout our school community. This journey not only helps our planet but also inspires our students to become responsible and mindful global citizens. Stay tuned as we grow, learn, and make a positive impact—one green step at a time!
