The Community Response Fund was a great way to build intergenerational connections with families, by building role models who can inspire their younger brothers and sisters to fall in love with reading.

The Literacy Grant Fund has made a huge impact on literacy at our school, allowing us to buy resources to meet the needs of the new curriculum. The funds are also helping us develop our eLibrary, to support our students becoming digitally literate in today’s fast changing world.
