cool t-shirts.

What is your favourite subject and

why? Maths, because it is fun.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Hair

dresser.

What is your favourite thing about OHPS and

why? Making friends because you get to play with

them.

INDIGENOUS SETTLEMENTS 30,000 year-old grindstones have

been found near Walgett, NSW, and ancient stone fish traps at Brewarri-na, NSW. These may be the oldest

man-made structures on earth.
