National Reconciliation Week

National reconciliation Week takes place from 27th May to 3rd June. The theme for this year is “Don’t keep history a mystery.” The aim is for Australians to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. The dates are significant as May 27th marks the successful 1967 referendum, changing how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were referred to in the Australian Constitution. The 3rd June was the date of the Mabo decision. To find out more about Reconciliation Week and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture visit https://www.reconciliation.org.au/

Our library has some resources for students to learn more about this.

Theodore Boone by John Grisham (Mystery)

In the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers, and though he's only thirteen years old, Theo Boone thinks he's one of them. Theo knows every judge, policeman, court clerk—and a lot about the law. He dreams of being a great trial lawyer, of a life in the courtroom. 

But Theo finds himself in court much sooner than expected. Because he knows so much—maybe too much—he is suddenly dragged into the middle of a sensational murder trial. A cold-blooded killer is about to go free, and only Theo knows the truth.

The Missing by Margaret Peterson Haddix (Science Fiction)  

When thirteen-year-olds Jonah and Chip, who are both adopted, find out that they were discovered on a plane that appeared out of nowhere, full of babies with no adults on board, they realize that they have uncovered a mystery involving time travel and two opposing forces, each trying to capture them.
