Indigenous Literacy Day - Thursday 7th September

THE GREAT BOOK SWAP

Literacy provides a fundamental step of building context, comprehension and understanding, whether it is written, visual or auditory. For kids who miss that foundational step in their literacy journey, it has a lifelong impact. 

This year the teachers and students at Mary Immaculate will be taking part in the Indigenous Literacy Day Book Swap. The Great Book Swap is a fantastic way to celebrate reading locally and learn more about Indigenous languages and culture. Schools, libraries, universities, book clubs and individuals can host a Great Book Swap. 

Students will need to bring in a gold coin donation and a book (in good condition) from home, that they no longer want or read. It does not need to be a brand new book. They will exchange / swap it with another book with their grade peers. 

This day will also be a MUFTI Day. 

We thank you in advance for your support for this day.
