Indigenous Literacy Day

Late in term three several students attended the launch of Indigenous Literacy Day at Federation Square, Melbourne. Indigenous Literacy Day is a national celebration of Indigenous culture, stories, language and literacy.

Heidi Bakker (Year 10 student) was chosen as one of ten Indigenous Literacy Foundation ambassadors from across Australia. In attending we were able to support Heidi and the foundation in their pursuit of closing the gap in indigenous literacy standards.

Heidi and the ILC staff also conducted a ‘book swap’ in support of the foundation.
