A DAY TO HELP ISOLATED COMMUNITIES

Indigenous homes in isolated communities have very limited access to books, computers and other educational resources.  Toukley Public School students were asked to make a gold coin donation to participate in an Indigenlous Literacy Day.  These funds will be forwarded to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to support them in their endeavours to provide resources to these remote communities and reduce the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in the Literacy field.

During the day our students listened to stories read to them by members of our local Aboriginal community.  Specially decorated sanctuaries were erected for students to enjoy quiet reading time.

Our students really supported this cause whilst enjoying various books in a nice relaxed and quiet environment.
