The theme of the day is Celebrating Stories, Cultures and Languages and we will be celebrating in the iCentre by playing the national digital event from the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) on the television during break one.

Join ILF Ambassador and music icon, Jessica Mauboy as well as some children in remote Milikapiti and Jilkminggan, in the Northern Territory as they share their Stories, Cultures and Languages and sing together. ILF Ambassador, author and performer, Gregg Dreise will also sing a song in Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay. We get the opportunity to try and sing a song in three different languages, from three different places!

Join us tomorrow in the iCentre – break one – to support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

A huge congratulations to our very own Ms Lester! Today she attended the graduation ceremony for her Bachelor of Information Studies from Charles Sturt University. We are proud of Ms Lester - it is no easy feat to work, study, and raise a family. She is a wonderful role model for students at Mt A, leading the way in knowledge and career attainment. Ms Lester has always been a true Librarian in every sense and now she’s got the certificate & qualification to prove it! ...

This weekend Australia lost a great story-teller, truth-teller and proud First Nations Man, Archie Roach. In the statement from his family announcing Archies passing, his sons reflected on how their father was a healer and unifying force . His music brought people together. His story-telling was honest with his experiences as a child of the Stolen Generation and also about First Nation Peoples history that is confronting but needs to be recognised. We have included a small display of the books we have by Archie in our Uluru Statement from the Heart display in the iCentre. To listen to Archie singing “Took the Children Away” go to www.archieroach.com/charcoallane

Last night we celebrated our last Read Like a Girl event, with our RLaG with your Dad evening. This event is really one of our favourites that we hold during the year. We were so lucky to have the very amazing and inspiring Maryam Master as our guest speaker, to talk to us about the writing process, her fantastic book Exit through the gift shop, and also a little about her life story. We want to send a huge thank you to the Fathers/Father figures and daughters who came along last night to celebrate this great event during Readers and Writers Week. - we'll have lots more photos in our stories 😍
