Busking for Change

Thank you so much for everyone that made our Busking for Change so successful! We are all so proud of the time and effort all students have put in to performing a song as a whole school. It was an overwhelming turnout yesterday afternoon, so thank you for taking the time to make this so special for your children. It is always so wonderful to have the community together to witness the amazing things our students are capable of. 

With your help we were able to raise $521 to go towards the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. These funds will go straight to the ILF to support remote communities in Australia to help programs that create and publish their stories in languages of their choice. The importance in this is to assist in maintaining and preserving language for generations to come. It is important that Indigenous children can see themselves, their culture and language reflected in the books they read. Having books that share local stories in First Language, preserves and maintains Indigenous languages and culture, as well as builds pride, identity and strengthens a sense of belonging, confidence and wellbeing.
