What a day we had last Wednesday celebrating Book Week and Indigenous Literacy Day! Students came dressed as all manner of characters and the time and effort that went into the costumes was amazing. Thank you parents! Amongst the activities for the day, we were lucky enough to receive an address from David Wirrpanda regarding the importance of reading. Take a look at what he had to say here:
We also had a special musical performance from the OLC staff encouraging students to read - with some very funky dance moves included! This magic will be uploaded soon! Stay tuned!
Our Great Book Swap raised over $630 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation! Great job! We will tweak the procedure next year to ensure that all students walk away with a new book to love. There were no books left over at the end of the day, so most children went home with something new to read. Thank you for the generous support of this fundraiser.
Below are some magic photos of the day. Thanks for your support everyone!
Yours in Reading,
Mrs. Amie Meyer and Mrs. Mary-Lee Kemp
