A welcome from James Goodlet
The word ‘Orana’ is understood to have derived from a Wiradjuri word meaning ‘welcome’. I think this is very apt. My experience of the place has been, and continues to be that of a warm, friendly and inclusive place.
I’d like to welcome you to Orana and hope you can join us on our journey to building a generous, big-hearted community – a learning village where all members can make real contributions. A place where adventure and challenge are encouraged, and creativity is nurtured. A healthy place for all, with opportunities in the development of academic, physical, practical and artistic skills, and the fostering of independence and resilience in young people.
