National Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation is ongoing. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we work towards a more unified and accepting society and culture. NRW is an opportunity for us to reflect on our role in the reconciliation process and take action toward building respectful and inclusive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
If you would like to listen to some picture story books at home to build an understanding with your children, Storybox library has many First Nations stories.
Listen to First Nations stories on Storybox Library here

Story Box Library
Just a reminder to parents and new families that we have a subscription to Story Box Library. There is a link to the website below, or you can download the app. I encourage you to try it out.
Audiobooks
If your child isn’t into reading, or if they haven’t found the genre that they love yet, get them listening to audio books. Also known as ear-reading, it’s a great way for our students to explore and develop a love of story. I use the app BorrowBox which is free through the Local Community Library-Myli.
