New benches in bush classroom

Pretty Beach Public School has had new benches installed in its bush classroom thanks to a $1000 donation from the Killcare Wagstaffe Trust.

The classroom had fallen to disuse due to changing priorities at the school.

However, environmental education coordinator Ms Marika Selwood resurrected an interest in the classroom and approached the Killcare Wagstaffe Trust to help with fitting it out.

Ms Selwood has now taken a transfer that was forced on the school due to falling numbers.

"It is to be hoped that the school will continue to support an interest in this important aspect of education and continue the use and upkeep of the classroom," said Killcare Wagstaffe Trust treasurer Mr David Legge.

"We will be communicating with the school about this when term begins."

The Killcare Wagstaffe Trust also donated $500 to local firefighters for their effort during the Pretty Beach fires.
