The Southern Highlands Youth Arts Council (SHYAC) invited the Year 6 leaders from the Bowral primary schools to represent their schools at the spring equinox on Tuesday.
This involved the "turning" of the Mary Poppins birthplace statue and mark not just the changing of a season, but the new phase in their own lives as they begin the process of farewelling primary school before starting high school in 2021.
Each of the school's Year 6 captains or leader representatives were invited to fractionally turn the gear wheel on the statue to help complete a 180 degree rotation as Mary Poppins changes direction from east to west.
This signified her flying in on the east wind for the start of spring and summer, just as the fictional nanny did in the original stories by PL Travers.
