Students at Mallacoota P-12 College will see new Australian and Aboriginal flags hoisted on the school's flagpoles following a visit from the Federal Member for Gippsland, Darren Chester. Mr Chester presented the student leadership team with new flags last week, replacing the old flags that had seen better days. "It was good to catch up with the student leadership team and present them with a new set of flags to welcome the entire school community when they arrive each morning,"

Mr Chester said, "The school community has shown plenty of resilience following the Black Summer bushfires in which students and teachers lost their homes, and part of the college was damaged. The team at Mallacoota P-12 College does an excellent job of providing a positive learning environment for students of all ages in one of the most remote towns in Gippsland," Mr Chester said.
