When it feels like one thing after another, community matters. 💛

We’re proud to host a free community dinner at the Walwa Hotel for Upper Murray locals impacted by the bushfires — a chance to come together over a meal, connect, and access practical local support.

📍 Walwa Hotel
🗓 Saturday 30 May 2026
🍽 Dinner: 6pm–7pm
🤝 Gathering: 7pm–8:30pm

Please arrive by 6pm if you’d like a meal (set menu provided).

A big thank you to Gateway Health and everyone supporting these evenings for our community. Gold coin donations will support local CFA brigades, with fuel vouchers up for grabs as lucky door prizes.

Registrations are essential — scan the QR code on the flyer to learn more and register.

Great community spirit and generosity from young bods at Scots for those in Tallangatta!

Tallangatta Valley Fire Captain Clint Ried came today to receive a cheque from funds raised by our Year 11 and 12 students.
Earlier this year, our Year 12 cohort hosted a dinner to welcome Year 11 into their final years, using the occasion to raise funds in support of a community affected by the recent Walwa bushfires.
After a devastating bushfire season that left the Tallangatta Valley without power or communication at critical moments, these funds will go directly toward improving the brigade’s communication capabilities.
A wonderful effort by our students for a truly important cause.
