25.01.2022 Today was Indigenous Literacy Day. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) has helped translate more than 500 picture books into Aboriginal languages with many of these books distributed through our FaFT (Families as First Teachers) sites across the NT.

15.01.2022 Thank you to Ms Ngaree AhKit for donating the beautiful book from her country Possums and Tall Trees to Malak Primary School. This will help us promote Indigenous Literacy Day, a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, stories and languages. While she was in a rush to deliver more books today, we will invite her back to read the story for us very soon!

15.01.2022 This term teachers are working with students to identify character strengths. When we use our strengths we enjoy what we’re doing and are motivated to do it better! This helps with self-esteem and wellbeing that can grow over time. A fun way to spot character strengths with your children is through books and movies. For example, Frozen demonstrates love and Inside Out highlights wisdom and decision making. If you’d like to know more about character strengths ask your child’s teacher or visit https://langleygroup.com.au/cultivating-character-strength/ or https://www.viacharacter.org
