Bourke primary students meeting
1 March 1999 - photographs
The primary students
meeting with the inquiry in Bourke collaborated to draw posters describing
(1) the features of 'my school now' and (2) 'my dream school'. (The inquiry
conducted a similar process with primary students in other NSW towns.)
The Bourke students wrote or drew their posters, sometimes both. Some
examples are
My school now

snakes, computers
- Computer train
(at Bourke Public School), bit too much work, stop fights, stop running
on cement
- Good teachers,
good transport, good computers, littering, bad kids, better grass, snakes
at school, demountables
- Sports, a basketball
court.
My dream school

pool, wicket keeper gloves, football
