Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, learning was completely upended, but now as students get back into the swing of things, they have come to appreciate just how important and valuable school is.
It's not just their education, but also their connections with friends and staff.
With the return to school, Whitton-Murrami students have been keeping busy both in and out of the classroom thanks to initiatives such as the Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, the Stephanie Alexander kitchen-garden program and a cross country fun run.
Due to restrictions still in place, the usual cross country event wasn't able to go ahead as it normally would, but the fun run ensured plenty of fresh air and exercise was had by all.
After the kilometres were completed, there was a sausage sizzle waiting at the end.
Another focus for the school continues to be its connections with the wider community.

"Whitton-Murrami Public School is known for its local community focus days and this year has provided a challenge for the school to continue to celebrate these days," principal Debbie Morden said.
However, days like Mother's Day and the Biggest Morning Tea were still able to held thanks to creative thinking.
"Student (have been) eager to recommence school and engage in their learning activities," Ms Morden said. The school is now taking enrolments for next year.
