Life Matters

A tiny school on the western slopes of NSW celebrates its centenary this weekend.

The Walhallow school has 12 Indigenous students but next year its numbers look like doubling, with a new crop of kindergarten enrolments.

The school has a close relationship with the local community, who provide
cultural and sporting programs.

Principal Charles Jones talks about the history of the school and why they've had success in retaining and engaging their students.
