With the last two years of Polding missed due to Covid, students turned up ready to perform. Families travelled from as far as Lismore, Armidale, Bathurst, Wilcannia Forbes and Broken Bay. Under very wet conditions, Catholic Schools Office Director, Gerard Mowbray opened Carnival with Madison Trembath and Hamish Kirkman reading the prayer and acknowledgement, and Isabella Rankin sang a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem.
