Celebrating Cultural Diversity
This month, we celebrate Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Week with a display of books listed on the Cultural Diversity Database by the National Centre for Australian Children’s Literature Inc (NCACL). See the titles available in our library here. Staff and students are invited to share their culture on our display.
Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
The Challenge is now open until 4th September and Glen Eira College is excited to be participating. It’s great to see so many students
joining the Challenge so quickly! Students can check their Year Level Google Classrooms or pop into the library to find out more. To read the Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklist and for more information, visit https://www.vic.gov.au/premiers-reading-challenge
