2023 Indigenous Literacy Day Celebrating Stories, Cultures and Languages

On Wednesday the 6th of September the students in grade 1-6 participated in Indigenous Literacy Day activities. We began by watching a short video.

After much discussion each child made their own poster advertising and promoting Indigenous Literacy Day using vocabulary and ideas from the video.

These stories are incredibly important to the Communities who created them. They allow the students to see their lives, Countries, Communities and languages reflected in books, encouraging literacy. Learn about why these books are important to the students in these remote Communities.
