Wednesday 12 September was a busy day the College with a number of year level meetings taking place during the assembly period along with The Great Book Swap during lunch.
Notably, thank you to Menslink who presented to Year 7. During lunch, The Great Book Swap took place where books could be purchased for a gold coin donation. The Great Book Swap is a fantastic way to celebrate reading in our local community and raise much-needed funds for remote Indigenous communities. The idea is to swap a favourite book in exchange for another, for a gold coin donation. Last year, the Indigenous Literacy Foundation raised over $190,000 from the Great Book Swap and this year their goal is to raise $300,000 to gift 30,000 new books to remote communities who have few to none. After all, how can you learn to read without books? You can find out more at https://www.greatbookswap.org.au/
