Temora Hub News
Temora Learning Hub had a blast at the end of last term partaking in some fun activities together. 'The End of Term Indoor Golf Putting Challenge' had Liv and Oli demonstrating their inner "Tiger Woods", and 'The 5 Second Game' had everyone in stitches with some of the "random" responses people came out with when under pressure. Tash was horrified when Oli found (and then showed) everyone a Bogong Moth ( Named "Bob").

They need to be equipped and ready 24/7, as emergencies can happen at any time. They also work with schools, businesses, and community to spread awareness and recovery strategies for fire and other disasters. Click HERE to read more.
