P&C president Vince Kelly said the fire had left a lasting impact on the school’s recreational spaces.
“We lost a lot of recreational space, and we’re keen to listen to the teachers and students and figure out what they are looking for,” he said.

Chinese New Year
The Year of the Fire Horse begins on 6 February 2026, coinciding with Chinese New Year celebrations, and runs until 25 January 2027.
A rare zodiac combination that appears only once every 60 years, the Fire Horse is traditionally associated with intense energy, bold change and rapid transformation.
Whether it brings luck depends on the individual, but it’s widely viewed as a year that shakes things up and inspires new beginnings.
Chinese New Year itself marks a time of reunion, celebration and renewal, with families welcoming the new zodiac cycle through food, tradition and hopes for good fortune in the year ahead.
Weather respite
Deniliquin residents have enjoyed a welcome reprieve from last week’s intense heatwave, with a cool change sweeping through the district on Sunday and Monday.
After several days of scorching temperatures that pushed well into the 40s and prompted early closures, event delays and heat‑health warnings, the shift brought noticeably milder conditions and a chance for the town to catch its breath.
Cloud cover, cooler southerly winds and lower overnight temperatures offered relief across the region, with locals taking advantage of the break after a demanding week of extreme heat.
With Monday not breaking 30℃, the rest of the week will see temperatures hover around the low to mid 30’s.
