Speech Night is the culminating event when parents view traditional performances by the children and see the awards their children receive during the Australian school year (January - December 1998).
A display was set up showing the models of the children’s playgrounds as well as the stories and sketches.
These plaques were given to the Murri School for participating in the Piggybacking program by Dr. Diana L. Suskind, visiting academic from the United States who is an expert in the fields of Early Childhood Education and Infant Parenting Skills.
